Obviously Obama hasn't done anything to earn the Peace Nobel yet, except be just what the Nobel committee said: the representative of a United States people that clearly cast out eight years of aggressive military and national solitarianism and isolationism, the starter of two wars, the nose thumbing at Koyoto and the United Nations, in favor of returning to the world stage as a participant. It's a vote of confidence from Europe. They've suffered through the last eight years of American foreign policy, too.

Cry me a river.....Both Kyoto and UN are broken mechanisms. We don't need a vote of confidence from Europe....We're the one's always bailing their asses out!
