“Hey, Debbie, did you even READ the basis for which he was given the award?

“They are called metaphors and are the halmark of intuitive thinkers. Concret thinkers have a hard time with them. I'll explain it in very simple terms, Obama was given a tool today which will help him make his global agenda a reality. His agenda is backed by billions of humans on this planet. Granted not republicans or Bin Laden, but everyone else. Dearie, that's called a powerful hand in the Washington poker game. (That's another metsphore)”

“You know when I first heard about it I was mostly just surprised - but after hanging out here and understanding that it was all to b* slap the republicans, I'm upset.
In all seriousness - the fact that Obama was nominated 2 weeks into his term, is more about the committees view on Bush, than Obama and I don't really think we should be celebrating that.”
