I have beer all the time. And I'm also not George W Bush. Nobel Peace Prize for me!
I'm interested in how they're is going to respond to this news. Even the staunchest Obama fans I know think this is pretty ridiculous. It's not like the White House lobbied for it or did anything to bring it about--that's not how the Nobel Prize works. But for some reason it seems self-congratulatory.
I think it highlights a problem in tone that's been present since the inauguration. Obama the candidate came across as human and real and honest. Obama the president seems smug, somehow.
