President Obama just won the Nobel Peace Prize and pundits on both sides are falling all over themselves either cheering or booing as loudly and obnoxiously as they can. Americans can sure be an appalling lot.
From the middle ground, I feel there is merit for either argument, he hasn't earned it yet and yes he has. But neither argument is very compelling.
The prize committee has every right to choose the individual they deem best, and so they have. The rest of us should congratulate the President and urge him to fulfill the promises that landed him the award.
It's happened, it's done, now get over it. All you all.
