Obama's Nobel Prize

Congratulations to Pres. Obama on his winning of the Nobel Peace Prize! Even if half of America is going to be whining about this, the world shows recognition to a man who may well go down as one of the greats of the 21st century. Of course the American right is going to jump on this, they'll have all manner of reasons of why this man doesn't deserve the prize. Rather than being flushed with pride that this AMERICAN has won, they'll dissolve into the usual racist rhetoric that has been the standard of these "patriots" Patriots , like the ones in Brasil wuld be proud if their nation won an Olympic host, the right celebrated that we did not win it. The cause of the nation has become subservient to the cause of making Obama's presidency a failure. However Obama seems to overcome this criticism well. Perhaps the honor and the humility of this prize will further his desires for peace, especially in the Middle East and Afghanistan. Perhaps world leader will look upon his words with more gravity and action. And perhaps Osama bin Laden and Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck will once again find themselves in agreement.
