From the October 13 edition of Fox News' Hannity:

I'm ashamed to admit, my own feelings, for Rush, Sean and Beck are in contrast to my own Christian beliefs.
There's nothing wrong with advocating simple measures toward a larger goal. Nobody in the Obama administration has said that washing hands by itself will make you safe, but if everyone did it more often, fewer flu germs would be picked up.
I suppose, puppy, that you were one of those a year ago that found it hilarious when Obama pointed out that drivers can be more fuel-efficient by maintaining proper air pressure in their tires. Once again, what he said was perfectly true, and easy enough that even most neocons could do it. He wasn't making a sweeping statement about instant cures, or anything like it.
In short, you were being advised, not "instructed." And if you consider yourself a "stupid American," well, I see no reason, based on the history of your posts, to stop you from thinking that.
Hannity operates in complete denial and projection. He and his ilk think good manners is a sign of weakness. It is beyond me, why they think being bully's and braggarts will bring America respect. That behavior did not bring us respect during the Bush years. If we are so wonderful, we certainly do not need to go around the world, pounding it into everyone's heads. Of course, if the rest of the world, was as smart as conservative Americans, they could see how wonderful America is, for themselves. ha
They are so mad that they can't even control themselves anymore.
I wish the tea parties would come back. Watching Fox News show hosts get mad isn't as much fun as watching thousands of mad rednecks.
In a rare public defense of a process normally shrouded in secrecy, four of the Nobel jury's five judges spoke out Tuesday about a selection they said was both merited and unanimous.
To those who say a Nobel is too much too soon in Obama's young presidency, "We simply disagree ... He got the prize for what he has done," committee chairman Thorbjorn Jagland told The Associated Press.
Jagland singled out Obama's efforts to heal the divide between the West and the Muslim world and scale down a Bush-era proposal for an anti-missile shield in Europe.
"All these things have contributed to — I wouldn't say a safer world — but a world with less tension," he said.
Jagland said that...the Nobel committee followed the guidelines set forth by Alfred Nobel, the Swedish industrialist and inventor of dynamite who established the prize in his 1895 will.
"Alfred Nobel wrote that the prize should go to the person who has contributed most to the development of peace in the previous year," Jagland said.
"Who has done more for that than Barack Obama?"
Trying to mitigate the disasters that GCC will bring by providing education to people who can then act upon that knowledge is helping to keep our world more peaceful.
That was easy.
I vaguely recall one study done by the Pentagon (IIRC) that looked at how the problems with climate change could kill the Gulf Stream, causing colder temperatures in the British Isles and Northern Europe.

1. "Obama got the prize for trashing America."
2. "Reagan and Bush deserved it more."
Hard to argue with that logic. Thanks, Sean!
St. Ronnie get the Nobel (and Pulitzer); he should be on Mt. Rushmore. We should replace the statue of that manic depressive in the Lincoln Memorial with one of Sunny Reagan. Hell, let's get rid of that wimpy guy with his arms outstretched over Rio, and put up Cowboy Ron, single-handed defeater of the Evil Empire and Savior of the World, on his horse. The Brazilians would (well, they should, dammit) love it.
And Obama did a lot. It's his vision and his inspiration to others that won him the prize.
As I posted above, "Alfred Nobel wrote that the prize should go to the person who has contributed most to the development of peace in the previous year," Jagland said.
"Who has done more for that than Barack Obama?"
Look at some of the other Nobel Peace Prize threads to learn more about why Obama was eminently qualified for this award.
I am always stunned by the people who come here uneducated who think that they can educate us on topics!
