Love Obama, but …

President Barack Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize. For what exactly? He’s only been in office for a mere 9 months and is talking about sending more troops to Afghanistan. Did I hit my head on something? Talk about a set-up? This is worse than being nominated for an Oscar for your first film or performance. Marlee Mattlin or John Singleton, anyone? Things can only go downhill when there is no opportunity for one to grow. Some will see this as a victory. I see it as a farce in a world where people assign greatness in areas where people have yet to even tap their true potential.

I agree 1 billion percent Nsenga.
The only thing I will add is that the Prize was voted on only 11 days after Obama was president so the time period was not 9 months even, it was 11 days.
