Edit: you genuinely couldn't think of why people would be mad at Obama? And if you're not one of these "critics" yourself, then where do you stand? Because it sounds like you're sitting on the fence so hard that you have barbed wire shoved up your ass.
That prize means fucking nothing.
It's just politicians jerking each other off for fucking us over. Don't pay attention to it and most of all don't respect it. It's nothing. It's the only way to make gold less valuable.
