I can't even to begin to describe how confused I am right now about the nomination of Obama for the Nobel Peace Prize. If you have not read my post from yesterday, please go read it before continuing this post (it is two posts below this). How can the same person be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize? Now, I want to point out right from the start that I realize that this is not Obama's fault; he was nominated for the prize, he did not actively pursue it. I personally like Obama, and think he is and will continue to be a good president for our country. The point is, Obama has not done nearly enough at this point to deserve this prize.
I wish the Nobel committee would have thought about the ramifications of giving this award to Obama. This will surely cause a media storm from the right attacking Obama, when in reality he had no power over the committees decision. All this will do is polarize the country even more than it already is. I can't imagine much good will come from this.
President Obama, do the right thing and reject the award and continue to work towards peace knowing the weight you now carry.
What Obama should do with his Nobel Peace Prize
Peace and love.
