i already said the Clinton Global Init. seems deserving, though I'm not sure if I'd give it to Bill alone.
also, they aren't obliged to present one every year and (iirc) have skipped years before.

and finally some peeps' recommendations.

I was thinking, this would have been a great opportunity for Obama to score major points... he should have refused the damn thing and told the commitee to come back after his first term. Everyone would have liked that.

[MKJ]

actually, he kind of did.
look, he couldnt flat out refuse it because that would be like saying "i wont achieve the things i promised".
however, he didnt accept the money, which IMO is the politically best way to show that you don't quite agree with it either.

[GONNAFISTYA]

I'm sure the Republifags think Obama should give his peace prize to Bush.

[Dr_Watson]

I'm sure the Republifags think Obama should give his peace prize to Bush.

he did pave the way for peace in the middle east and near asia you know.

I appear to disagree good sir!

The man is a goddamn poet, surely he could have made a big deal out of refusing it in an honorable, nay noble manner. Shit he should hire me as a pr guy, i'd be awesome.
