I wouldn't call that doing nothing, but I know that the news in Sweden don't always pick up on the good news from the US.<br /><LShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13135583903768049008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622772963037648430.post-81060200720291898942009-10-11T15:40:13.096-04:002009-10-11T15:40:13.096-04:00Would you give a promising student a diploma befor...Would you give a promising student a diploma before he or she actually does anything? I know I would not do it, if promising is the criteria I wonder when someone wins an Oscar for best actor with a motivation like that? I like Obama but that does not mean he deserves the price!<br /><br />Comment by JHEHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00275671822465334645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622772963037648430.post-11360368566467127212009-10-11T13:48:11.186-04:002009-10-11T13:48:11.186-04:00PS.

The silliest comment I heard was some republicans that complained that he hadn't done something about global warming yet, something the republicans have worked against for decades. I really think the prize should be seen as a prize for changing America and the role of the US in the world. <br /><br />PS2.

But think about it - just by managing to get elected and then living up to his campaign promises, he has reversed so many of the horrible Bush-policies that was a huge threat to world peace.LShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13135583903768049008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622772963037648430.post-56234355511594254562009-10-11T09:17:32.632-04:002009-10-11T09:17:32.632-04:00The price is a serious mistake.

Regardless of his personal opinions and wishes he has a congress and a lot of lobbying to get around (or over). The USA is still the USA electing Bush twice.
