Not so much that everything he does is wrong, it's just that none of the reasons stated have come to fruition.

Tom Daschell told Obama more than two years ago that if he wanted to run for president, he needed to run before the voters found out much about him. I guess the NNC felt the same way.

I have read the responses that many U.S. citizens have made today upon hearing the news. Almost without exception their response has been, "For what?"

I agree, under the circumstances it would have been more honorable for Obama to have declined the award. Just imagine how upset the liberals would have felt if George W. had won the Nobel Peace Prize just eight months into his administration.

This has really put Obama in an impossible situation. He cannot now send more troupes to Afghanistan and he cannot win the war in Afghanistan if he doesn't and if we don't win, the Tali-ban will bring Al Qaeda back in and let them set up shop again. Remember, America is not the only country that has been the subject of terrorist attacks by extremist Muslim groups. We just haven't been targeted while we were flexing our muscles and showing Al Qaeda that there is or was a price to pay for attacking the U.S.
