“Opponents may scoff at the early award of the Nobel Peace Prize to President Obama until, perhaps, they look more closely at its title ‘Peace Prize.’ The use of the most powerful armed forces in the world to invade another country unnerved virtually every country in the world. The insistence of the world’s leading power that climate change was not real made the world more vulnerable than the wars of the past. For more than a generation, no president has made nuclear disarmament a signature issue. Unilateral actions and attacks had made the ‘Ugly American’ not only ugly, but feared, given our enormous military power.
“Re-establishing diplomacy as the premier way for a great power to use its great power has caused the world to breathe a sigh of relief and has led to the award of the Nobel Peace Prize. This prize re-establishes a country weakened by economic crisis that was laid at our door step and could re-establish confidence in the leadership that the U.S. enjoyed after World War II.”

I know it's hard, but why don't we all just sit back and be proud that for the first time in a long time OUR President is respected and revered.
