Not in 12 days..lol..Usually those have been at work in whatever they are trying to accomplish for years..Not 12 days.

That's my issue.

If that didn't make the award meaningless then this definitely did.

Totally. I like Obama, but I lost a lot of respect for him for accepting this, since he said himself that he doesn't feel he's earned it yet.
I also think it's a huge diplomatic error, considering that if we are ever to have success with Iraq and Afghanistan, we need the support of the people who live there. And accepting a PEACE prize is a bit of slap in the face to those very people when we're still at war with their countries.
I honestly thought he'd have the balls to turn it down.

So, did I. I thought he would tell them that he will only accept this honor WHEN he's earned it. That would have gone a long way. Very disappointing.
