Obama: You do or do not, there is no try

Nelson Mandela was in prison for 27 years, while trying to establish justice in South Africa, and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.
Desmond Tutu fought homophobia, AIDS, tuberculosis, poverty, apartheid, and racism all his life and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984.
Mother Teresa ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned and dying for 45 years, and was awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.
Martin Luther King fought for civil rights and changed the lives of African-American's, was a martyr to his cause, and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.

Barack Obama replaced George W.

Really?
Really?
REALLY????

Even if Obama is making significant, good, incredible changes, I feel like it would be like awarding a national championship to a team who only won their first game. Shouldn't we wait a little? We have no idea how Obama is going to turn out.

On a somewhat happier note, here are the best new bumper stickers:
Rush is right
The audacity of hype
Because everyone deserves what you worked so hard for!
Honk if I'm paying your mortgage
Hope is not a plan
Rush is still right
Hey Barack! I'm bar-oke!

We can make a difference.

Hope
