The Nobel Prize

Yes, yes, our president won the Nobel prize, and as usual, the right-wing blowhards are all over it, saying that Obama didn't deserve it, that he shouldn't have accepted it, and that it is emblematic of his presidency thus far: all talk and no action. These are the same people that rejoiced when Chicago didn't get the Olympics, and that continue to laud and protect a health care system that leaves 50 million people uninsured while financially bleeding our country dry. We, liberals, were chastised for "hating America" by these same people, who think that an American president, winning the Nobel Peace Prize, is a bad thing.
And while the media continues to hold a circus trying to make Obama the bad guy for winning a prestigious prize on the behalf of our country, all it really does is display the absolute transparency of the Republican party's morality of the late. Everything Obama achieves is bad--everytime he fails, its good. End of story--no matter what.
I know. Its about as complex a strategy as that of a two year old crying in the super market for candy, or an over matched football team hoping the opposition's star running back gets injured before the big game. Of course, in either case, both of them actually have a chance of getting their way--the Republicans, like the fat girl who develops a crush on the heart throb QB, hopes for his girlfriend's demise, and refuses to diet, have none.
As stated previously on this blog, the time when Republicans can win by going negative has passed. It passed in 2008 when Barack Obama won the Presidency. Maybe that is why they are so mad at him. And at this point, all it would take is a fiscally conservative, socially liberal party (in other words, unlike the Greens or the Libertarians, one that was viable) to make the Republican party obsolete, because as usual, other than breeding hate and mud-slinging, they appear to have absolutely no interest in governing this country in a way that benefits the majority of its citizens.
The press may conveniently forget this, but I suspect that voters have not.
