Nobel? Not yet.
I’m happy that a sitting president received a Nobel Peace Prize. This is a good thing, or should be. Presidents being active enough spreading peace in the world, to received such a prize while still in office is actually AWESOME. However; President Obama hasn’t done enough yet in my opinion to have earned such an award.
The President is currently running two foreign wars, a state run gulag (where we have acknowledged torturing prisoners) and has only been on the job for around nine months so far. What has he done to deserve a peace prize, other than state(no real action that I know of yet) there should be more equality between Palestine and Israel when settling(PUN! Oh I’m good!) their differences, and that nuclear non-proliferation is a good thing?
Perhaps the last eight years have so rattled the Nobel committee that hearing a more rational rhetoric coming from the leader of the most powerful country on earth has given them leave of their sense of proportion and affected their decision? Perhaps they are being all liberal/socialist tricky, and hoping the award will entice the President to do things more along the lines of a Nobel Peace award winner? Either way I hope the President does eventually do works that will be deserving of a Peace Prize; but he hasn’t done it yet.
