CHRISTOPHER Sat, 12 Dec 2009 03:38:13 +0000 http://republicanredefined.com/?p=4413#comment-1137 I completely agree with you in that regard Monica. I think you may have misinterpreted my message there. I too believe that the award was nothing more than a political message being sent our way by a foreign body aiming to cast stones at the previous administration. That being said, I do have the ability not to lose sight of the forest for the trees. I see President Obama as a bump in the road in the history of the United States. I feel that his presidency will serve no interest whatsoever except for the remote possibility that the time he spends in office may serve to change perceptions in the minds of those on the world's stage that see us as close-minded and stuck in our stubborn exceptionalist ways. I for one, hope that any harm that he does this great country is overturned, reversed, and undone with great haste the moment he leaves office, but in the mean time, we may as well take advantage of the one positive attribute that he may have to offer. From a purely American perspective, I love seeing an American president honored by anyone foreign or domestic. In fairness, I should probably qualify that by saying at least any reputable organization or entity on the world's stage. Regarding the credibility of this institution, I too agree with you that President Obama's untimely award of this great honor does a great deal to chip away at the prestige of this award - now and going forward. That being said, any such award that could be bestowed upon Jimmy Carter before it is given to the men that ended the Cold War- Ronald Wilson Reagan and George Herbert Walker Bush - genuinely leaves much to be desired with me.

To honor a president for achievements that are far from fulfilled just proves that this "so called" honor is nothing more than a dirty game of politics ! I will have to disagree with you.
