Who in your life have you underestimated?

Underestimate Barack Obama?

Looks line one mistake Hillary Clinton did.

Ted Kennedy once introduced him as "Barack Osama."  May God bless his soul, he is no longer with us.

So when our president receives the coveted Nobel Peace Prize, on December 10, 2009, in Oslo, the tendency will be for us Americans to belittle the honor or question what he has done to deserve it.

Go on the Internet and read reactions in London, or Rome, or Tokyo, or Beijing.

I think we Americans will underestimate Barack Obama a little less and be a little more proud.

I remember underestimating lots of people in school. I would be like, “oh that kid is so dumb” and then they would get, like, 100% on every test, or at least in the 90's.

When don't Americans bitch about everything?  I thought you would be pleased about that Peace Prize, I started to write you a note but I figured that I knew, you knew.

I do not think Hillary Clinton underestimated Obama himself, just underestimated his supporters!

I just really think that Obama and his health care system is just the worst system I've seen in a long time.
