It is an honor to be nominated let alone win the Nobel Peace Prize. Americans have something to be prideful of because our President was nominated and won! The reasons for the committee's choice are not ours to debate. The nobel prize has been around for years and is a non-partisan award. Throughout the world in the past few years, Americans would travel abroad and not admit to their citizenship. The world hated Americans. Now, our country is being viewed at peace makers and not destroyers. It is something we should hold our head up high in pride.
Already this morning, two hours after the announcement, I was on a social game website and the argument and slander was all over the place. Judging the inaccuracy of the committee's decision and why after nine months in office, President Obama had not changed much. Few things happen overnight. If change is to occur in this struggling economy, it needs to be well planned. President Obama has the framework of many changes ready to enact if Congress would work with him. We have to remember that the President didn't nominate himself for this honor. He was recognized for his leadership in trying to create peaceful relations with all people.
