While I voted for Obama, I am dreadfully disappointed in him. He was elected to clean up the Bush Mistake and has failed to do so. Instead, the banks received a huge bailout that made them profitable, but at the expense of the American people. His "leadership" on health care reform has been non-existent. What we are going to get is corporate welfare, mandated purchase of services, no change what so ever on affordability, and the same old games the private insurance companies have been doing about charging high premiums and denial of claims. I want to know what he's going to do next to fuck us.
I didn't believe the hype last year, but I wanted to. I just didn't want that asshat McCain to win. Another 4 years of completely incompetent, utterly clueless so called leadership scared the hell out of me. So I settled for mostly clueless and seemingly incompetent.
What has happened with this award is that it shows once again the insanely political mindset of the committee. Obama hasn't done anything and doesn't deserve the award. Arafat was a mass murdering terrorist and didn't deserve the award. The prize is made cheap by this nonsense. I'm not opposed to Obama winning it, I just want him to have done something to merit it.
