Well today the Nobel Peace Prize goes to a man who has overcome American bias/bigotry to become the country's first African American President. A feat, which I believe in itself is a tremendous accomplishment, and is no less than that of Nelson Mandela becoming the first Black President of South Africa after the end of apartheid. I tip my hat to the Honorable President.

Obama's award reflects wonderfully on America and is indeed the world's approval of the new direction this country is moving.

I believe that Obama deserves this award, and the critics, as usual, is grasping at straws, and showing their terrible bias with almost screams for the Nobel Peace Prize committee to withdraw the award.

It is a very impressive thing to see a Black man accomplishing so much and not being on the wrong side of the law. The only people that he does not inspire are ardent bigots.

Michael Steele's criticism wreaks of jealousy and self hate, and it is not a good look to have them attacking the President for everything that happens to him.

If GOD came out of the sky and gave Obama an award his critics would most definitely argue with GOD about President Obama's deservedness; at which point GOD would probably snap his fingers and send them to hell. Guess my point is that no matter what good President Obama does it may never be good enough for some people.

The people who voted to give the award to the President did so after serious debates, and their decision should be respected and not second guessed just because the recipient is Obama. The President should feel nothing but pride and joy at this honor, and make no excuses for the nobel peace prize committee's choice.
