Obama's Nobel Peace Prize
Before I continue mocking the Nobel committee (not Obama), let me say I thought Obama's tempered, humble response was appropriate and classy. A polite refusal of the award, as has been done before, might have been even better, but whatever. The criticism of the selection, which is coming from both sides, is less about him, and more about a glaringly obvious example of the continued dazed admiration and "Obama as celebrity/messiah" storyline that plagues the extreme left. I'm quite confident he wishes they would not have selected him at this point, but I hope in the future we will one day say, "Okay, NOW he deserves it." If you don't hope that, you are lame (profound, eh?)
