Obama Awarded Nobel Peace Prize

This morning we all woke to the news that Barack Obama has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. I applaud him! Of course there are those that think he just got it because he is popular. Which is crap.

If you look at the 8 years we had with Bush, and even longer if you add his daddy's stint as president, we certianly as a nation were NOT pursuers of peace, nor of DIPLOMACY in any sense of the word.

When Obama took office he made a concerted effort, and is still making that effort, to mend fences and open lines of communication with ALL nations of the world.

Bravo!

Our president hasn't completed a YEAR in office and he is being criticized for NOT meeting his campaign promises. Give the guy a break. He walked into a mess of giagantic proportions left by the republicans who dog Obama at every turn. Who could fix all that in 6 months?

At least he is trying, and we need to be supportive and give him time to work through all the government bullshit, to build alliances within the government - ours and internationally - he needs time.

Pray for his success, because the USA is in a mess and need a smart, determined person to fix things. Sphere: Related Content
