So I wanted to come out with a more timely response to this announcement but I simply did not have time over the weekend and was trying to process this very strange choice. After doing some thinking and research, all I can say is theat the committee biffed it. In 37 weeks in office President Obama has not actually accomplished anything in the way of peace or major foreign policy that could result in peace. He has not signed any major treaties, hosted a peace conference, or made new allies. There simply are no major accomplishments to point to.
What he has done, as this article points out, is make some changes to our foreign policy and apologize for prior US actions (neither of which he needs to do). He has embarrassed the office of President by showing weakness before countries that want to destroy us and our way of life.
Of course I do not think we should really be surprised. Why should we take serious an award given to Al Gore for making a movie about the environment that he later admitted used junk science?
