Diane,
Barak Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize this morning for...um...I'm not exactly sure. The deadline for applications for this once prestigious award was less than 2 weeks after President Obama was elected to office. I'm not exactly sure how you can foster a sense of world peace while you're still unpacking your office.
I'm not saying Obama will not someday do something that makes him worthy of this honor, but now?!? Giving this to him today just cheapens the accomplishments of those who have won it in the past, especially those who spent their lives fighting for diplomacy and trying to irradicate tyranny.
This is why you have a waiting period on the Hall of Fame in every sport. Give people some time to get out of the moment and judge the accomplishments on their historic value. Giving this to a man who has been president less time than some women have been pregnant is flabbergasting.
