I know it must be terribly difficult for you but do try
to control your inner 13-year-old brat.

The guy didn't ask for the prize, he immediately issued
a statement saying he didn't deserve to be in the company
of past winners and that he was accepting the prize not
as an award for his accomplishments but as a call for
action.

Obama is a dignified, class act all the way around while
the jeers and whining from the wingnuts is anything but.

Grow up.

If it is an award he doesn't deserve, and he is accepting on behalf of the
"American people," what's so "abusive," "wingnut," or even "wrong" with
suggesting that the money accompanying the prize be used to defray the cost of
him going and getting the something that he himself says really belongs to his
employers?

IAC, a "class act all the way around" - assuming you mean to say what I think
you do - doesn't accept awards that they know they don't deserve...and a
"dignified" person doesn't become a Illinois Senator...it doesn't make him a bad
guy, but "dignified" and "has(is) class(y)" are not terms that I'd use to
describe Obama...and the use of "class" in this case sounds like something one
without any would use to describe someone or something that has none - picture
Donald Trump describing, well, himself...or a gold toilet in one of his
buildings...
