Just as there is in all human endeavors, there will always be controversy and disagreement on who is deserving to win what. It goes with our nature.

I agree and can't help but think some of the bashing is more than party differences.

He did shut up all the liberals, which makes the northeast much more of a peaceful place to be.

And to others, they like Obama because they hated Bush and don't really care about Obama's voting record or his current policies or where he is leading our country. Like he can do no wrong or something. Therefore I conclude ladies and gentlemen: X5Dawg is correct! This is all G Dubya's fault! (As Wagner puts it...)

From the article I linked, it says in pretty simple terms
Quote:
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.
and

Quote:
the Prize is given by a five-member commission chosen by the parliament of Norway, the legislative body of a foreign state
It's not a water-tight association for sure, but that's why we have the judiciary branch.

In any case, I'd like to know what he's going to do with the $1.4 million. Donate it to ACORN?

GWB was a disaster his Dad a good job.

Not saying Obama is perfect but he seems like a smart person trying to do a good job. When he is speaks he seems thoughtful and smart much more than anyone can say about GWB.

There is absolutely nothing in the quotes you posted that Obama is in any way in violation of. You may want to think so, but the facts do not support it.

You guys seem to be so afraid of ACORN - the latest right-wing boogyman. Why? All they do is register voters and provide community support. Do you also hate the conservative churches and other organizations that support their communities and rally votes (legally or illegally - if so, where are the protests - I don't see any)? Or are you just blind hypocrites who like to make noise over nothing to try to provoke the non-thinkers to rally to your cause?

Edit:

Oh, BTW, If Obama did want to donate his money to ACRON, what of it? Is that too illegal? Immoral? Untoward? Or is it just another thing t5hat YOU personally don't like, and therefore something else to bitch and moan about?
