The president hasn’t done ANYTHING to have earned the Nobel Peace Prize. And many people who feel that way are Democrats who did vote for him, or people in other countries who have been keeping tabs on what is going on with Obama and analyzed who else was on the list. The prize was awarded to him for what he might do… utter nonsense. It has nothing to do with “short memories,” as you put it.

The prize is political and has been for decades. To think otherwise is naive. Ronald Reagan was instrumental in the tearing down of the Berlin Wall… no prize. More than 100 people who have been active in peace activities for years were on the short-list for the Nobel this year, no prize. Giving Obama the prize for what he “might” accomplish in the name of peace is like giving Sean Penn an Oscar today for a film performance he might give in a few years. It demeans the prize and those who have won it who were worthy of winning it.

People’s memory is not only short, but tends to conform to what they believe should be true. When things don’t happen the way they think they should, they come up with all sorts of self-serving reasons why they didn’t.

Why doesn’t the President deserve the Nobel Prize? For half the country it is only because they did not vote for him, did not believe he could win and have been told repeatedly that he is something he is not. The cognitive dissonance here is so loud many would prefer believing aliens as an explanation rather than confronting reality.

If you want the real history behind the prize, then read my short piece on it on my blog.
