Now that award has been sullied as was the Nobel Peace Prize when it was presented to Obama.

The Peace Prize was really awarded to the American people, just for rejecting the Pubs in 2008, and we deserved it just for that.

But this is a prize Obama earned himself, by "expanding health security for millions of Americans, restoring diplomatic relations with Cuba and leading a landmark international accord to combat climate change," and he deserves it for that.

Maybe John McCain and George H. W. Bush will return theirs in protest.
