Obviously letter writer Will Eidson, who asserts only liberals receive the Nobel Peace Prize, has never heard of the first U.S. president to earn this award, Theodore Roosevelt — a Republican.
Additionally, Mr. Eidson might note that this prized award is not based on political persuasion, but on whether one has done something positive for the world.
President Obama’s peace initiatives, based on communication and diplomacy — not aggression and arrogance, is a wonderful positive pursuit and deserving of this honor. That the United States has rejoined the world community in a respected position is an additional benefit for all of us.

Time will tell as to if Obama is deserving of such honor. Men and women will be remembered by their deeds, not by their words. Mr. Hassell makes the assumption that this strategy will lead to an increase in peace and security.

Sports Bulletin:
Obama watched a college football game on TV this past Saturday. In recognition of this achievement, he has just been awarded the Heisman Trophy.

This could be fun. Let’s see…
He remembered getting a splinter as a child, so he was awarded the Purple Heart.
He almost finished reading Dan Brown’s “Angels and Demons” so he was awarded a Pulitzer Prize.
He watched “The Lord of the Rings” and was given an Oscar.
He listened to Michael Jackson’s last single, and received a Grammy.
He thinks Susan Lucci is hot, so he was awarded a Daytime Emmy.
He asked Michelle to fix him some lunch, and received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry.
Anyone else got any?

Actually, I made those up but I’m not surprised there are e-mails about it too.
