I have nothing against him.. but he happens to be in my endless list of people I don´t like.. hehe.. nothing particular about that.. some people just go in the list for no reason..

anyway... I thought the prize was achieved by something you DID...I mean it´s a prize isn´t it... prizes are gotten AFTER you do something.. if you RUN a marathon and WIN then you get the trophy.. you don´t get it because you are athletic and you might have won even if you didn´t ran...

I guess many may wonder or even think.. was what I did worth the efforts... could´ve I just sit down and got it like this guy (regardless of his political position he´s just a guy)... you have to EARN it by merits... IMHO

and to the left, right thing.. I too have to admit I believe there is space for middle people.. just like in handwriting.. either you are a leftie or a rightie or you can be ambidextrous ... I see things in all shades of grey and colors not just the extremes..

being an outsider I saw it as a merely diplomatical/political issue... like mentioned Bush wasn´t liked in Europe and this clearly says Obama is.. and the way I see it, it definately degraded merit to those who really deserved that prize and those who have been awarded it in the past..

IMO, and if it were me, I would´ve declined the award, but it´s not me... so.. it´s up to him and his PR people
