Obama's Nobel Prize

Dear Victorious,

What do you think of President Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize? What do you think he should do about it?

Dear Maureen,

I don't think he is deserving (yet) of such an honor. I suspect it was given for something other than his accomplishments. What do I think he should do about it? I think he should have stated on the first day that he would decline the honor ... at least for now. I think he should ask the people who make such awards to bestow it upon someone else who has actually accomplished something. So far, all he has accomplished is wealth and popularity (in that order). I don't believe that is sufficient criteria for a Nobel Peace Prize.
