I think that the award of the Peace Prize to President Obama speaks more to the rest of the worlds perception of the United States and our implementation of Foreign Policy under the eight years of the last President.

United States Centric thinking Americans are wondering "What the fuck did this guy get the Peace Prize for?" The award of the Prize, and the overwhelming reaction of Americans to wonder why, speak large volumes to our poor understanding of the rest of the world, and I think to our arrogance and detriment.

But hey, it is more important who is playing in the World Series, and how long the commute to work is, right? The rest of the world, what ever that is, just isn't that important...unless those gas prices start to go up again..those selfish bastards.
