I suspected the asshole was as egotistically motivated as Trump when he became president in 2008 and accept the Nobel Peace Prize from Norway.
He wasn't on the job for even a year yet, no accomplishments at that point. Yet he'll accept a Nobel Peace Prize??
I wouldn't do it. I would say, my election from whoever chooses these awards is pure political, and has no actual merit. Wait, and see if I actually accomplish something that warrants the such an award.
But not him.
Made me very suspicious about him, even though I liked him at the time.
I think we were all just happy GW was gone, and a wave of democrats took over both houses of congress. Unfortunately, even if with a majority, they didn't pass a universal single payer system. With the GOP sponsored healthcare plan, ACA, they still didn't get one single republican vote from either houses. It was pointless to have removed the single payer option. And the congress people who they cited needed to not be too far left, still lost their seats in the following midterm.
Obama was only good on civil rights; mostly for LGBT. Everything else, he sucked ass at.
