Obama Accepts Peace Prize But Defends War
Because I’m sick of all the Tiger Woods hoopla (I mean, really! Who cares? It’s getting old!), let’s talk about something else. Like President Barack Obama and this Nobel Peace Prize debacle.
He received the award why? I still do not understand it. Meanwhile, he’s sending more troops overseas, a move he criticized former president George W. Bush for doing.
30,000 U.S. troops are being deployed to Afghanistan and our president is accepting the Nobel Peace Prize. Oh, the irony. I laugh at thee.
I can still remember all the anti-war rhetoric he spewed, and now suddenly he’s defending this war. Is it because he’s in the hot seat? Because he’s trying to play left and right field? Mr. President, I hope you have two well fitting gloves.
I do not support war unless it is absolutely necessary. My brother spent many long months in Kuwait two years ago and I humbly support our troops 100%. I understand that our troops are working to help the Afghan people and to bring order their country. However, I’m thinking you have to eat a lot of crow right now. You are “obligated to protect and defend the United States” and yet you attacked your predecessor for doing the same damn thing?
This is completely maddening.

Oh how right you are. Politicians talk out of both sides of their mouths. I have never been an Obama supporter partially because I didn’t believe that the bar that was set for him, was reachable. When I heard that he would be receiving the Nobel Peace Prize before doing a darn thing, I was disgusted. Instead of fighting terrorism on the soil of other countries, why don’t we just use those 30,000 troops to protect our own borders at home?
Maddening, indeed.
