      Wow!! O'Reilly actually said something I can get on board with. Bill acknowledged the criticism of Obama while pointing out there is no need for harsh discourse, but rejoice at the possibility that many in the world are starting to view American policy as peaceful.

      I hope Obama keeps working at this so that not only Americans would say their country is the greatest but other countries may also come to the same conclusion.

      He must be having a new book come out. He always starts the engines of "it's only an act" and "see, I complimented Obama" so he can go on the Daily Show.

        I think he will wait until his last book is off the best seller list before he comes out with another. It's been over a year now, and counting.

          Yes and as the Heritage Foundation keeps bulk ordering it to give to donors and hacks, we're reminded that the creed of America is that anything "popular" must be gospel.

            Funny how popularity counts when speaking of Obama but is discounted for other things. But when you are consistently behind that is the only tactic to employ.

          You mean the book that's on the "Value Book" shelves at my local Hastings? I live in the second most conservative area in the country according to one poll . . . . nobody buys any of these folks' books. They always end up on the $5.95 value book shelves.

          See, REAL conservatives don't read these phonies' slop, just people like you.

            I guess the NY Times has been mistaken in printing their best seller list for the last few years. It must kill them to have to include O'Reilly's books. Hilarious.

            But you never fail to make something up to discredit even indisputable facts.

      Is it just me, or does it feel like Mr. O'Reilly is moving more to the center as Fox moves closer to the extreme right?

        If the deadline for submission was January 30th, then how on earth would Clinton have been nominated for something that happened in August?

        He got enough votes to get the prize. He didn't campaign for it. Calm down.

        The deadline for submission was irrelevant. The voting took place within the past two weeks. As for why . . . you need to go to the Nobel Committee's website . . . they gave their criteria.

        For the record, Mr. Obama was just as surprised as everyone else. This had nothing to do with the internal politics of this country.
