Obama Wins the Nobel Peace Prize
Many were shocked to find out that President Obama had won the Nobel Peace Prize but others were pleased. The same basic story is presented in different ways with different viewpoints. Fox News and Townhall.com both give a conservative side of the story, stating that the Nobel Committee was just making a political statement. The Associated Press presents a fairly unbiased version of the story on Citizen-Times.com. CNN provides a complete story, but only highlights the positive comments given about Obama receiving the award. What about countries overseas? BBC seems to agree with CNN that Obama has done something to deserve the award. Which story do you agree with?

I agree whole heartily with Fox news. Seeing as nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize were sent in only a few weeks into Obama's presidency, how could he have possibly done anything worth the award? Not too mention that Obama himself commented that he wasn't receiving it for something that he has done but for "goals" and promises he says he is going to keep. What happens when he doesn't keep those promises? To me, it brought the worth of the Nobel Peace Prize down to almost nothing.
