What Should Obama Say in His Nobel Speech?
By David Knowles - AOL NewsOn Dec. 10, President Barack Obama will be in Oslo, Norway, to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. His highly anticipated acceptance speech comes just days after he announced his decision to sent 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan. So, what should the president say? Just as there are varied opinions as to whether Obama deserved to win the Nobel Peace Prize, there is no shortage of advice on what the president should say to his audience in Oslo and across the globe. At Mediaite, Rachel Sklar says she believes the president should shift the focus away from himself and even suggests the wording he ...
Top 10 Most Annoying Republicans
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyAll this talk about Sen. Arlen Specter's defection -- and the instant karma that ensued -- got me fantasizing about other Republicans who ought to follow him out the door. The following list is by no means comprehensive -- and I do reserve the right to amend it -- but for now, these are the 10 Republicans who annoy me most ... 1.

Hot Mic: Pundits Caught Bashing McCain's Choice
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyThe first rule of being on television is even when the mics are supposedly off, never say anything you wouldn't say on camera. Because only the engineers know when the mics are really off. Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan and Time columnist Mike Murphy forgot that rule after appearing with NBC's Chuck Todd and were caught on tape disparaging John McCain's pick of Sarah Palin for VP. Murphy -- a former McCain adviser -- says the choice is "cynical" and "gimmicky." Noonan's opinion is even stronger. PN: It's over. MM: Still McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech to do ...
