and people start asking "what have you done for me lately?"



With Obama, the question should be, "what have you ever done?". But, it would be nice if more people even started asking just the "lately" question.

Notice the time-line. I'm almost at the point where I'd be surprised if this weren't the White House pulling some strings as a follow-up to the humiliation suffered at the hands of the Olympic Committee.

I saw that he was nominated just 2 weeks after being elected. Was there any pre-set date where the nominations either win an award or not? Or, is it just whenever the Nobel people get around to awarding one or not? If it's just whenever, it's too much of a coincidence with the PR failure undergone at the Olympic Committee for this to come right now.

If so, major blunder by the White House. I was just looking at internation press. Everyone is asking, "Hhuh?" Would have been better off just letting the Olympic story die on its own.
