Where's that "Nobel backlash," Mickey?

80 percent of the videos in this website are surrounding FOX. I would think that the people running this website listen to plenty of FOX. In fact, probably far more than any of us actually do. And yet, they have somehow retained the intelligence to not sign on to every piece of pig vomit that is floated by. Its called an education - you go to school long enough, you realize that not everything on tv is true and learn how to discern facts from fiction. It is quite difficult for those that use only FOX news and limbaugh to get their information but those people are clearly intentionally shielding themselves from foreign opinions and seeking out anything that will support what FOX already got them to believe. However, if one were to read lets say the times, the news, the post and watch cnn, cbs and nbc news, they would get a pretty good ideea as to what is actually going on. But you fox news faithful don't care what is really going on - you just wait for the next glen beck show.

Obama is not forced to let his policies be guided by the peace prize. Even the ones that awarded this to him know that afghanistan is going on and may even escalate. While i don't want Obama to continue this war, I would also be distraught to hear that Obama was letting the prize interfere with the decision-making process in something so important. I really doubt it would influence his decision in the slightest. On the other hand, I also did not think Van Jones past would get him booted from the administration so I guess you never know what will influence the decisions. However, I think that the afghanistan war is slightly more important than van jones' care dont you agree? The peace prize is an honor and America should be thrilled that the world thinks about this country in such a positive light at present that they are encouraging our leaders to continue the course they have mapped out. Regardless of whether Obama deserved it after such little time, I do think it is a very flattering gesture.
