This just shows how completely out of touch Al Gore really is. DC stated that the deadline for nominations was 2/1/2009 Obama was sworn in 1/20/2009. After just 12 days in office, he's already done so much to get nominated? Get real no president could ever do that much in 12 days, not even former President Ronald Reagan who is personally my fave president.

Well I'm not proud of our president, nor am I proud to be an american. Usually I am but lets face it people Obama does not deserve it. After being sworn in just 12 days prior to getting the nomination. He's no more worthy than Adolf Hitler. Now I realize that will no doubt upset a lot of the members on this board. And I'm sorry for that but right now it's the way I feel.
