Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize? Has the world gone mad?
How can the committee who awards these prizes retain any respect after giving a $1.4 million prize to someone who has done absolutely nothing to deserve it? It was always my understanding that you receive honors and awards when you actually work hard to accomplish or achieve something special. Peace? Has Obama brought about peace? Sure, he's talked a lot about it, but haven't all of us talked about how great it would be to have a peaceful world? Were we all nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize? If so, I didn't get the memo.
Think what you want about our President, but honestly, can anyone say that he really deserved it? Even Obama doesn't think he deserved it. Which might be the one thing we can all agree on.
So now what? Now he has this Peace thing over his head for the rest of his presidency. What is he going to do to prove that he actually deserved this honor? He's got a lot of pressure now to produce something. It will be interesting to see how quickly this whole thing blows over. My guess is that by tomorrow, the media will have put it on the back burner. Wouldn't do anyone any good to keep talking about how wonderful our President is when he hasn't done a thing to bring about peace in the Senate and Congress much less peace in the world.
