I first heard about Obama winning the nobel peace prize on facebook during fall break. It was someones status and I was like What? (and honestly, that is how i get most of my news…kinda sad but its the truth).
I lost all respect for the nobel peace prize when Al Gore won it in 2007(?) over a little old lady who was abused for housing jews during the Holocoust. To me, him winning was absolutely ridiculous.
Im not trying to bash Obama in anyway, I mean he is the president of the United States and deserves everyone’s respect. It just came as a surprise to me that he won for the year 2009, it came really quick and was a complete shock.
I do not have enough facts for a complete opinion, but that is the reaction I had when I heard the news. What do you think?
