    Obama got the peace prize for literally not being W. Bush. No other reason.

    Obama fans don’t like hearing about how bad he was.

      Agreed, the Obama administration was rotten, but boy, was he charismatic. My dislike of him has been one point of contention between my standard-issue US liberal neighbor while helping bridge the gap with my recovering MAGA other neighbor.

      Crazy how Bush was so hated in 2009 that just not being him would win you the Nobel prize, and now he’s a darling to American liberals
