You've used the "but other people did it and it made me mad when they did, so now it's ok that I'm doing it too" argument an awful lot lately.

In contrast to the biting statement issued by the RNC, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) says he's "proud" that an American president has been awarded the Nobel peace prize.
"I’m sure that the president is very honored to receive this award," McCain told CNN's John King.
"And Nobel Committee, I can’t divine all their intentions, but I think part of their decision-making was expectations. And I’m sure the president understands that he now has even more to live up to. But as Americans, we’re proud when our president receives an award of that prestigious category."
Now if he really wanted to pull a political power-move, he'd eloquently turn it down.

And appear ungrateful and spur the accusation that he's elitist and arrogant? Not likely.
I think his carefully measured response was actually pretty good. Very little to criticize there - surprised and honored, and not sure he lives up to the contributions of past winners, but inspired by the call to action to strive for peace and justice the world over. Listed a few of the things he will work for, and said this award solidifies his resolve in keeping them on his agenda.

this is ing bull

Moral Hazard
How a man who commands a military activly involved in two wars/occupations wins a PEACE prize is absolutely beyond me.:conf:

...and if he wanted to help financial status of the nation, he would have canceled inaugural ball....
