Obama Nobel Peace Prize

We both voted for Obama, this is NOT a criticism of the President of the United States. However, he has not done very much *yet* to create peace. Giving the award at this stage devalues the Nobel Laurets for all time. That is sad.

That said; President Obama, many times people rise to the level of expectations. We fully realize you have a LOT of expectations, but if you can earn this prize that is good for everyone!!!

According to The San Diego Press, "While Russia's president congratulated President Barack Obama for winning the Nobel Peace Prize, Republicans see the award as so outrageous that they're using it to raise campaign money."

So I looked into it, Michael Steele "found it so ridiculous that Obama was awarded the honor that he’s using it as a fundraising tool. Steele sent out an email late last night not only lampooning the award but asking “truly patriotic Americans” to ante up to fight the forces of world domination.
“The Democrats and their international leftist allies want America made subservient to the agenda of global redistribution and control,” Steele wrote. “And truly patriotic Americans like you and our Republican Party are the only thing standing in their way.”

What do Pat and Pat think? It was a bit odd, but we don't think it is the end of the world. I am a but concerned that to be truly patriotic you need to be anti-the-stitting U.S. President. That does not bode well for the Republican party I think and we need to be a two party nation.
