I was just as surprised as anyone the other morning when I heard Obama won the Nobel Peace prize. My first thought was, what!?!?, that is weird but then I remembered the day after he was elected and the celebrations held around the world. I was so moved to see people in the streets of England, Germany, France, Africa etc gathering and supporting us again.

The last time that happened was the solemn days after 9/11. There are many people in this country who do not want to see Obama succeed. I do not understand this. No matter how I felt about Bush I knew if he failed our country would fail and that is exactly what happened. Do we really want that to continue, it is obvious the rest of the world doesn't. If the good people of Oslo gave Obama this prize for bringing the world together again around our great nation after many years of alienation then I can get behind that. I believe Obama and the U. S. can live up to those expectations. Don't you?
