Imagine after only two weeks on the job you were named Employee of the Year. You’ve either achieved a massive accomplishment or your company’s management is naive. The deadline for the Nobel Peace Prize is February 1, and President Obama’s name was entered into consideration by this date–approximately two weeks after taking office!
President Obama joins Woodrow Wilson and Jimmy Carter as U.S. Presidents who have won this “illustrious” award (don’t forget Al Gore won one too). I used to believe that President Reagan deserved a Peace Prize for being the architect for the demise of the Soviet Union. I no longer have that belief. This Prize is political, shallow and virtually worthless.
