Sir, your an Ass

To which Mr. Laden answers “My what [is] an ass?” Only morons say “your” when they mean “you’re”

While I am a pacifist and do not agree with war, I understand there is not an easy way to end it either. If Bush couldn’t (or wouldn’t, its debatable) in five years then how do you expect Obama to in nine months. This isn’t the wars of our fathers where it was considered “OK” to go in and bomb the every living shit out of people, but pulling out and leaving them to fix the mess we made is not really feasible either . These things are tricky and are scrutinized by the international community so it’s very important that he takes his time to find the best solution for everyone.

First of all I really liked your post. Very smart and well-written. But I cannot agree completely though…

I’m not American myself so I’m not really emotionally involved in the Obama-Nobelgate, but I do observe the international political life. Just two days ago I discussed the Nobel topic with my boyfriend and my statement was that Obama had great potential and SHOULD definitely be awarded the prize in the (near?) future. But not now, just after he’s started his journey. I don’t say he doesn’t really deserve the Nobel prize, but I think that now, just at the begnning, when he’s still working on establishing his position in the world, the prize is a sort of obstacle. Instead of working hard on improving the international situation with all its complicated aspects, he’s collecting prizes. I’m afraid this is how many people can see it. Even though, as I said, I personally like the guy.

And Greg’s comments still seem too defensive – as if he has to prove to us how Obama *deserves* this. I think it’s fine to say it’s a political statement, the committee wants to use it as an endorsement/pressure, and leave it at that. Why all the effort to squeeze all sorts of halfway rationales into something that’s obviously forward-looking, not accomplishment based?

I think the NPP *intended* to have the current public reaction – of puzzlement, and controversy. They want pressure on Obama to fulfill his direction, hence the awkwardly timed award. Why is that so difficult to accept?

Of course I am so terribly naive – obviously you, oh wise one are not. So enlighten me. When pray tell, can we expect our great leader to keep a single motherfucking campaign promise?

This isn’t some fucking game to watch. This is our country. A country that went to complete and utter shit. Our president was elected because he told us that he would do certain specific things – things that he has not only not done, but he has done the opposite of.

So explain to me why exactly I shouldn’t be a little fucking pissed off about it.
