    Thank God no one ever has to take John Bolton seriously ever again. I think Obama deserves the prize for that alone.

    In reply to Obama's Nobel Speech: Pretty Damn Good
    I'm still an Obama supporter but now that the public option is officially dead and we're sending more troops Afghanistan, it's getting harder. The guy had a hell of a mess to clean up and the hate mongers on the right are doing all they can to distort the truth so he needs all the help he can get. I'm sticking with him for now.

    32 Million Adults (About 14% of the population) have very low literacy skills - meaning they cannot read a simple children's book.

    "No one really remembers Nobel Prize acceptance speeches. Not even King's..."

    Respectfully, I disagree. How can you not get chills hearing this: "I accept this award today with an abiding faith in America and an audacious faith in the future of mankind." Because he actually meant it.

    @Botswana Meat Commission FC: Bolton was also critical of Obama's lack of a goofy-ass walrus mustache, upright posture and overall relevance in 2009.

    I suppose that one could make the argument that, by not prosecuting members of the prior administration for authorizing torture, he's in fact complicit in those crimes.

    I doubt this is the argument any of those 20 percent are making, though.

    "The speech was also typical of Obama in its self-centeredness and ‘something for everybody’ approach."

    I just can't with these people. John Bolton, that statement makes no sense, even for you.

    @flossy: Good lord. This one sentence says so much more about Bolton and his ilk than it does about Obama that one really must wonder whether Bolton have ever even considered, yet alone studied, psychology.

    @BicycleShed: Just like NRO guy, whose only two suggestions are that Obama should talk about "the war on Radical Islam" .... and that Obama should not talk about who are good Muslims and who are the bad Muslims.

    Yes, please leave job that Daniel Pipes and the National Review! He's like a Vulcan with that logic.

    Maybe he should have stayed. Instead, he and his retinue are flying to Scandinavia twice in one one week to attend a summit on reducing carbon footprints.
