Apparently,Obamawas awoken early this morning by Robert Gibbs with the news, which surelyled to an awkward moment where Obama said,"Seriously, Gibbs, Iam goingto hurt you, if this is a joke

he took it well..

My Beer Summit comment was taken as a joke, which mildly offends me.
That event, indeed, was a successful attempt to establish peace between blacks and whites and IMHO deserve a Nobel Prize at least.
Joe Biden should be nominated as well for his participation.
Oleg, yes, you can be next - for drinking beer with Mike Rabinovich

As if Gibbs waking up Obama is not awkward enough

Do you mean estanlishing peace after igniting unnecessary racial tensions?...*-)

Here is one more for Obama - promising to close Gitmo
See? He deserves every рубль of his prize

Славик, I saw - i think you observation is funnier...:-)

Bush's been funding research even more percentage-wise...
Svetlana, are you kidding me? Let me put it mildly -- this is incorrect. I am a person who have been doing federally-funded research for the past 15 years and have a first hand experience in that.

Алексей, it's ok..I know Bush is evil, he did all the terrible things...:-)...but you know what the best part is now?...
The time for trushing Bush is OVER!...now it's Obama's Time!! (fr)

Pavel, you are on to something. Nobel peace price is usually given to the biggest trashers of America.

Please, don't diminish the great achievements of our president. In his first 12 days he also released fundung to pay for abortions in other countries, re-affirmed the army interrogation techniques while expressing the desire to close Gitmo. (That worked out well) AND he hosted a Superbowl party. How cool is that?

Slavik, thanks for stealing my line about Glenn Beck's book
