It has now been diminished to a "cartoon" and "humor"...who would honestly even be honored to receive one? Obama should have respectfully declined this so called "prize" based on the "reasons" of the award (no accomplishments now but "future ones to come"???)....but the Million Dollars that came with it tainted his decision even though he said he was going to give it to a "Charity". As the skepticism continues to grow with this administration, I wonder if the money will go to ACORN. Once again, POLITICS has interferred where it doesn't belong. Where in the past, the "Nobel" would UNITE people in a proud way, it has done just the opposite.....DIVIDED US ....evident thru the late night talk show jokes, cartoons from around the world, signs at restaurants, etc. Obama actually made himself and AMERICA a "laughing stock" on the world stage. I also find it humorous that Obama could wake up on the morning of the day of the announcement and within a few hours, ACCEPT IT.....but can't make a decision about the request from Gen. McChrystal in nearly 80 days for the security of our soldiers in theater and our homeland! Think about what this really says about the so called "Leader of the Free World" Great article Bob! I appreciate your thought provoking principled comments!....the real values in life are being brought to renewed awareness!
