I read the news this morning, noted the statements from critics, tuned into the strategy interviews with the Nobel Peace Prize committee, listened to congratulations wishes from leaders around the world and tonight, I'm proud to be an American.
I am proud of this award to the leader of our country and believe President Obama will use it to motivate his work in a humble yet direct vein during international dealings.
Americans (even extremists) can't deny Obama's intentions when it comes to strict expectations for world-wide humanitarian rights and dignity.
Yes, this was a political move by the prize council but hey, if continues the momentum toward peace already set by our President, I'm going to celebrate the honor.

It was political, and, I believe, a few years premature. But, nonetheless, I think it is a great honor for the US.
Isn't it ironic how much RAGE is directed towards our President winning the PEACE Prize?!?

CC - Excellent points, my friend! But really, I expect that from you. :)
I'm with CC, I am totally amazed at how much negativity is out there for someone winning the *Peace* prize.
