Nobel Peace Prize

[Husky_mom]

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

I like Huckabee's answer. I would like to hear that explanation as well.
But I won't quibble.

I am just glad we agree that a thoughtful response is better than a knee jerk response.

And I would still like to hear that explanation. What has he done? Please don't get me wrong. I am not sitting here stewing over this. On my list of important things this is below the last item on the list. My concern is the glorification of someone who is unproven IMHO and whose agenda going forward remains to be seen.

And I would still like to hear that explanation.

Well then here you go. These are the people to explain it. Not anyone on the left or right (or middle) .

Give the award back, keep the money?
