Good Grief, Barack Obama!!

With apologies to the Charles Schulz estate and peanuts fans everywhere, how else can I put it? Friday a week ago, the IOC awarded the 2016 Olympic games to Rio De Janeiro over Chicago. Big shock to the media since there was a "Dream Team" lobbying for Chicago as the host city. Yesterday, President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. Another big surprise. The Nobel committee said Obama's promise of nuclear disarmament and diplomacy were the virtues that influenced their vote. I only have one problem with this. The nomination deadline was February 1, 2009. Mr. Obama was sworn in as President January 20, 2009. He won the presidential campaign November 4, 2008. He did not have very much time to turn his potential into acts. The combination of this nomination with Al Gore's Nobel Peace Prize for unfounded and bad science makes me lose faith in the Nobel Prize Committee.
