Sure, one can make the argument that it might have been given to him a tad on the early side, but hey, they're going to give the Nobel Peace Prize to someone! Who deserves it more than President Barack Obama? Even if Obama is not your cup of tea, how about a little pride for the fact that our President has been awarded this prestigious prize?President Obama may have a lot more to prove to the American people. He may need some more time to finish what he's begun. However, that's just it…he has indeed begun. He's begun to pry open international doors that have been sealed shut for decades...Cuba, Egypt, and the entire Muslim community, to mention a few. Obama has reached out his hand of peace in effort to show the world that America is ready to start anew….regardless of history. His rare combination of practicality and idealism will hopefully allow America to have the international presence that it is meant to have. So, I ask the naysayers again, who deserves it more than President Barack Obama?
“Congratulations to President Obama on his prize. I’m not sure what the international community loved best; his waffling on Afghanistan, pulling defense missiles out of Eastern Europe, turning his back on freedom fighters in Honduras, coddling Castro, siding with Palestinians against Israel, or almost getting tough on Iran. The world may love it, but following in the footsteps of Jimmy Carter is not where America needs to go. Hopefully, this surprise award will give the President cause to reevaluate his current course.” (Gresham Barrett)
ReplyDeleteHad a feeling you'd find your way here, SOB:) In your opinion, who should've won the Nobel Peace Prize?
ReplyDeleteOh those crazy liberal Norwegians! I can go on about Gorbachev, Yasser Arafat, Carter, Gore for a documentary on global warming...nothing you haven't heard before. He deserves that wacky prize.
