President Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize Friday and the WaPo responded by posting a poll to determine (I guess) whether he "deserves" it. Brilliant. Has Rupert Murdoch made another, unannounced, acquisition? Any half-wit knows that such polling, devoid of sample control, front-loaded with bait ("deserve?") will reliably invite lop-sided response from readers with an ax to grind. I'll be amazed if this "poll" doesn't show that a majority of respondents believe the prize should have gone to virtually anyone else.
Nice work, guys. You're my favorite on-line read, with a bunch of my favorite columnists, but this stinks of Fox. I'm sure many will be delighted with the results, but given that they'll have names like Krauthammer, Beck, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Coulter, Gingrich, (are you getting the idea?) you really need to look at the quality of your efforts. I know that at least some of you are aware that a vocal subset of my fellow Americans is persuaded that President Obama is a foreign-born, megalomaniac, freedom-robbing minion of the devil incarnate. Kind of you to throw them some raw meat. Unless you are actively interested in undermining this administration, I'd suggest you leave push-polling to that other Post. You know, the one we normally think of in terms of puppy training.
