When not on DU, has anyone gotten a totally opposite reaction to the
Obama win of the Nobel that you didn't expect? Positive or negative?

There's a local anchor here in San Diego and he's a big old republican dude on what use to be a Fox affiliate, so he's had many years with no problem showing disdain or expressing his sarcastic feelings for Dems. He still sneaks them in. I mean this anchor actually got all misty eyed during Obama's inauguration when Bush appeared and said, "Wow, time really flies. I'm gonna miss him." I almost threw up.

Anyway, I was expecting pure hatred when he had to announce Obama's win but he said, "Man, this is such a great honor for the country." I was stunned :wow:

1. Oh boy,
he was realy going to miss bush? Must be wacky! LOL!

I'm surprised he had that reaction, I guess some republicans do just love the country? :shrug:

The reactions from the people I know personally, were all positive. I'm sure those who didn't have anything nice to say, would keep it to themselves.. around me anyway.

2. Yeah, people are complex. Or I guess some Repubs are
starting to distance themselves from their nutty brethren.
