Keep in mind, anyone can be nominated at any time. You or I could be nominated.
Thing is, Obama has done nothing to deserve such an award. Neither did Al Gore. Even science agrees and Gore freely admits that his movie on climate change was highly exaggerated to scare people into action. It is what it is.
Fraternal Order business.
The only person who has been deserving of this award in the last 20-30 years is the man who created a banking system that loans money based on need with zero interest and no collateral required. It had something like a 90% rate of repayment, higher than any for profit capitalist system(and I'm no socialist, I believe in free markets... just saying, it's impressive even to me)
Show me something earth changing, show me a real movement... Obama hasn't done shit and he's not about shit. It never ceases to amaze me when people say how proud they are that Obama is the President. Why? He hasn't done shit. Were we proud when Bush was attacking Iraqi and Afghan women and children? Nothing has changed.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
