The main reasons Obama does not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize are George Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleeza Rice and the neo-conservative Project for a New American Century who's members were lobbying for war against Iraq several years before 9-11. Until Obama puts America's war criminals behind bars in real jails for serious terms, neo-conservatives with their hawkish agenda will plot for the future with nothing to fear.
After a high school student was killed in Chicago, Obama "dispatched" Attorney General Eric Holder to preach to the students not to be violent. But when it comes to the fraud that lead us to war against Iraq, torture crimes and election fraud, Pres. Obama maintains that he has no influence over Holder. Well, Mr. President, which is it? Are you not his boss? Other presidents certainly were.
Obama went to Africa and preached to their millions that they need to establish rule of law and prosecute those guilty of corruption in their governments -- a historical moment of rote hypocrisy. Until we do the same in our country, the world will see us as arrogant, imperialistic Westerners, regardless of Obama's skin color.
Two terrorists recently apprehended here in the U.S. reminded me of another's sagacious words: "They do not hate us for our freedoms. They hate us because we kill them." As long as we're terrorizing the Middle East, we will need to fear another 9-11.
Honestly, I think Obama is a good Republican president. But I'm a Democrat. I voted for Obama because I thought he would be less Republican than Hillary. I have been sorely disabused of that belief and the Nobel Committee's choice of Obama for the Peace Prize is more salt in the wound.
