3. K&R! Loved your title. Was magnanimous, but you kinda soiled it with the F bomb.
I use it, too.

But your title should have stood alone. Great point. And a great meme, IMO, to shame the RW echo chamber smear campaign.

5. I agree. The American people elected Gore, then they elected Kerry, then they elected Obama.
They did that despite an onslaught of propaganda and a criminal assault on the election system nation-wide.

The American people also recognize, a large percentage of them do, the great danger of having a means of counting votes that is privatized and conducted by extreme parttisans of one side and that is either unauditable or only cursorily audited or not audited.

America's leaders, on the other hand, still act like WWF referees. It's as if nobody in the world would ever try to steal an election as far as they're concerned, and no matter how much evidence of vote theft comes out, they look the other way.

7. Totaly agree.

Without the support of all of us who voted for change none of this is possible. The Nobel Committee couldn't very well award it to the 55% of American voters that voted for change but I suspect this was a nod to us.

10. Absolutely
His campaign for election must also be included in his consideration. Diplomatic policy was one of the reasons I supported him.
