But so quickly, and before the usual deadline, man, he deserves this.

Upon winning the Nobel Peace Prize, Barack Obama said, "To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many transformational figures." Most Americans agree with the president -- 65 percent say he did not deserve to win, while 29 percent say he did.

Indeed, Felix, he said the most appropriate words that could have been said in accepting the award.

That said, I am hardly surprised at that polling info from Faux. I'm surprised they could find 29% of viewers who said he deserved it. I had no idea that many Faux News viewers loved their country. :P

you might want to do some research there TL, on your lunch hour of course, I'm sure you are familar with research. you'll find Fox news has the most evenly balanced viewers between conservative, liberals and independants of all the TV news outlets. But I understand if you don't want to find out for yourself, nothing like facts getting in the way of a good ol' dislike. :P

I know some of you, like myself initially, discredited that poll. However, as it was pointed out, that poll came from an independent pollster, and that data can also be found in the links.

That said, this is a rare moment of faux, publishing something that they allowed another source to conduct, without their normal "fair and balanced" spin applied.
