excuse me, what?
when i think of the nobel peace prize i think of martin luther king jr. or mother teresa. i was shocked when al gore won the peace prize but not as shocked as when i turned on the tv this morning to read that obama had won...
lets take a gander at past presidents who have won the nobel peace prize:
Theodore Roosevelt (1906): Negotiated an end to the Russo-Japanese War
Woodrow Wilson (1919): Leading architect of the League of Nations
Jimmy Carter (2002): Created the Carter Center which works to advance human rights and find peaceful solutions to international conflicts
and now-
Barack Obama (2009): Has given people hope for a better future...
ben and jerrys gives me hope when im upset- but i dont see them winning nobel peace prizes. im not saying dont ever give one to him, but maybe we should wait until he actually does something...
