In all seriousness, I don't blame Obama for winning the Nobel Peace Prize. I do blame him, however, for accepting it. The Nobel committee and Obama worked in concert to undermine the value of such an important prize.
The real shame in the whole matter, was that Morgan Tsvangirai of Zimbabwe, did not receive the prize. Tsvangirai was instrumental in breaking Robert Mugabe's deadly stranglehold on their country.
In Zimbabwe there is still a lot of work to do, but Tsvangirai has been instumental in effecting positive and peaceful reforms - despite Mugabe's best efforts.
Thanks to Tsvangirai, Zimbabwe finally has a glimmer of hope for the first time in generations. It's unfortunate that his positive influence and efforts have gone without the recognition they deserve because the Nobel Committee and Obama politicized an award that could - if given the chance - carry real weight toward positive humanitarian reform.
