Add me to the list of people who are somewhat mystified by Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize (and not in the same sense as the objections being spewed out by a hate-obsessed American right wing).
I just want to know what he has actually accomplished to merit the award. Not promised, not talked about, etc. What has he done, and where are the results? Some have said the prize is actually for the entire American people for not electing another Republican. I wasn’t aware the prize was given to a group of people because a certain percentage of them decided to stop being stupid.
If the peace prize is being given out on the basis of image, marketing and star appeal, it cheapens the award, and does a disservice to previous winners.
I hope that at the very least Obama will accomplish something that merits this peace prize. So far, I see nothing.
