    It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see who the clear choice is after perusing this list, and it looks like many a rocket scientist chooses Obama. Har.

    Is Corzine really a good endorsement right now considering he should be rotting in a jail cell?

    Impressive list, but you forgot several important endorsements:

    US Communists Party
    Chavez
    Castro
    Putin

    Just about every other communist and socialist on the planet.

    You act as though a Nobel Prize still has any significance. it's become nothing but a bunch of kook leftists pursuing an extremist left-wing agenda and is completely laughable. Hell, I just got a Nobel Prize in my last box of Cracker Jacks- and another one when I got my oil changed:

    Wow. "WIKIPEDIA". And if I wanted to leave my email address, I could have just added in my own,"endoresements".

    You have a real problem with what is considered a "CREDIBLE SOURCE", that is rapidly becoming known here.

    Find one endorsement in the list that isn't real. Oh and go get clowned in the other thread while you're at it. Claiming BS with no evidence makes you BS Ike.

    I'm sure the endorsement of convicted felon George Soros is real. But hey, he's in good company with Jon "I have no idea where the money is!" Corzine, who screwed his clients for over $1,000,000,000.
