Facebook poll asked if Obama deserved Peace Prize
Facebook ^ | 10/10/09 | raccoonradio

Posted on 10/10/2009 9:23:20 AM PDT by raccoonradio

Just took a poll on facebook as to whether or not Obama deserves the Peace prize. I voted no and found that at this time, with 187,000 having voted, almost 82 per cent say...

NO.

(song parody on the Howie Carr show by a listener, set to Beatles tune) "Who'd give him that prize? I know who could Norwegians would..."

I think this should be the link for the poll —it may only work for you if you’re a facebook user and logged in.

One comment from the comments page

>>Obama was president just 12 days before the nomination deadline, He got the award Friday, Oct 9th, not for what he has accomplished; But for what the Nobel committee hopes he will do. I laughed out loud when I read this it was funnier than any of the cartoons in todays paper. Then I got to thinking. Its not really funny after all. It’s actually sad that the committee could not find anyone that had accomplished anything to deserve this award; But gave it to someone, whom they hoped would accomplished something.

Do you think it’s a joke that President Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize?
Yes - it’s just another way to feed his ego.

1,536 (86.8%)

No - he’s done amazing things for world peace.

186 (10.5%)

I don’t know.

Ha—though I will say some people did register comments saying that he DID deserve the prize and allegedly facebook says you can’t see the comments page until you have voted.

15 per cent btw voted Yes. The remainder was, don’t know.

Can you ask the person who made that comment where he/she got the info that Obama was nominated 9th October? Do you know by whom? My suspicion is that Bill Ayers (professor in sociology and therefore able to nominate candidates) was the man behind the nomination.

A cowboy from Texas attends a social function where Barack Obama is trying to gather more support for his Health Plan. Once Mr. President discovers the cowboy is from President Bush’s home area, he starts to belittle him by talking in a southern drawl and using mono-syllabic words.

As he was doing that, he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head.

The cowboy says, “Y’all havin’ some problem with them circle flies?”

Obama stopped talking and said, “Well, yes, if that’s what they’re called, but I’ve never heard of circle flies.”

“Well Sir,” the cowboy replies, “circle flies hang around ranches. They’re called circle flies because they’re almost always found circling around the back end of a horse.”

“Oh,” Obama replies as he goes back to rambling. But, a moment later he stops and bluntly asks, “Are you calling me a horse’s ass?”

“No, Sir,” the cowboy replies, “I have too much respect for the citizens of this country to call their President a horse’s ass.”

“That’s a good thing,” Obama responds and begins rambling on once more.

After a long pause, the cowboy, in his best Texas drawl says, “Hard to fool them flies, though.”

>>I can’t believe all of you! Obama is donating all of thas money to charity! I hear it’s to the people he’s never heard of at ACORN. So everyone just calm down.


Yeah, ACORN’s been having a tough time lately so the Big 0 will come through! :)

Sorry, misread your post. Thought it said he was nominated as a candidate a day after the election, ie 9th Oct 2008. Disregard completely.

Note to self: put on reading glasses before making comments!

Boston NBC affiliate WHDH-TV held a similar poll yesterday.

Even Massachusetts thinks Obama's Nobel Peace prize is a joke!

Massachusetts, did he deserve it?
73%     NO
26%    Yes
only 1% were unsure

Stimulus Money

Sometime later this year, we Taxpayers may again receive an Economic Stimulus Payment. The Obama Administration is very excited about this new program. Let me try to explain to you how it works using a simple Q and A format:

Q. What is an Economic Stimulus payment?
A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.

Q. Where will the government get this money?
A. From taxpayers.

Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
A. Only a smidgen.

Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a
high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.

Q. But isn’t that stimulating the economy of China ?
A. Shut up.

Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending your stimulus check wisely:

If you spend the stimulus money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China.
If you spend it on gasoline, your money will go to the Arabs.
If you buy a computer, it will go to India.
If you buy fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala.
If you buy a car, it will go to Japan.
If you purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan.
If you pay your credit cards off, or buy stock, it will go to
management bonuses and they will hide it offshore.
Instead, keep the money in America by:

1 Spending it at yard sales, or
2 Going to ball games, or
3 Spending it on hookers, or
4 Beer or
5 Tattoos.
These are the only American businesses still operating in the US.
So, the best suggestion is you go to a ball game and drink beer with a tattooed hooker that you met at a yard sale.

Beer—providing it’s an American beer company—and even aren’t the “American” names foreign owned?

I thought NBC's Boston WHDH was the most left leaning. If it is, is that an indicator that other Boston Stations would result in better polls?
