President Obama Accepted His Nobel Peace Prize Today!



Maybe the blue lights over Norway was a sign from God that he believes President Obama is worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize.Okay,maybe that is a bit much because those lights are reported to have come from a Russian missile.But,then again.....

Seriously,I wonder why some folks say he has done nothing to deserve this prize.President Obama has done more to inspire the world's population than any president has in recent history.

He brings inspiration not only to Americans,but to people all over the globe.And Obama is a role model for so many African-Americans who lack one.Young black children now feel like they are truly a part of this great democratic society that we call the United States of America.

President Obama has left an indelible imprint on the minds of future generations.He is more than a great orator.If these impatient folks will just give him time,President Obama will prove to be a great leader.I believe that he has done a great job with all of the horrific baggage that the last administration left him with.No matter what his critics say.

But,even the critics had to agree.President Obama was in top form today when he gave his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech.It was as "eloquent" as the man himself.

Here's more from The Christian Science Monitor:

"Liberal and conservative pundits both approve of Obama's Nobel Peace Prize speech. They like his humility and his realism.

f nothing else, the American punditocracy largely agreed on one aspect of President Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize speech: that it was eloquent.

In offering a tutorial on just war theory, laid out in clear prose and compellingly delivered, Mr. Obama and his speechwriters showed once again that they know how to knock one out of the park.

But more noteworthy is the largely positive, or at least hopeful, tone of reaction across the political spectrum. From conservative former House speaker Newt Gingrich to writers at the liberal Nation magazine, the insta-analyses found hope in Obama’s words, either in his justification for the war in Afghanistan or in his ultimate aspiration: to replace war with peace.

“I thought the speech was actually very good,” Mr. Gingrich said on the WNYC radio’s The Takeaway. “And he clearly understood that he had been given the prize prematurely, but he used it as an occasion to remind people, first of all, as he said, that there is evil in the world.”
