Norway

I am hearing more than the usual about Norway these past few days. I was thrilled to hear our President had received the award. But was wondering exactly what the five people on the committee were really thinking. Sometimes we make decisions and without being fully understanding of this decision will have hidden underpinnings. The one man and 4 women that decided on our President might sway his thoughts on war. Sending more troops into Afghanistan and Pakistan would be a decision he would make or not make with truly agonizing thoughts.

It is interesting to read about the committee and that there is only one man. They all are around my age. I can remember when Henry Kissinger received the award the year I graduated from high school.

The one I hold in most high esteem and adored completely was Mother Theresa when she was awarded in 1979. For her compassion for others less fortunate and complete disregard for her own health and well being. And Martin Luther King Jr. in 1964 for his vision and fight for equality.

I just want to say to the committee that giving the award to President Obama is an award to all our past Presidents. Including President Bush for paving the way for continued Freedom for our country. Please take a look at past President Bush accomplishments!
