And The Winner Is....

President Obama???
So apparently, President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize!
Here's what committee(Norwegian Nobel Committee) chairman Thorbjoern Jagland had to say:
"Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future."
He is only the third sitting U.S. President--Theodore Roosevelt won in 1906 and Woodrow Wilson won in 1919--to win such an award. A lot of people are kind of confused because they don't think he deserves it, saying he hasn't really done anything....
Maybe he hasn't done what they want him to do, but he's done what he could and that's all we ask of him...he's not a magician people lol. Besides, what other President has inspired the world to do and be better, what other President gave the youth hope(especially the black youth), and what other President has opened the door to topics such as race??? He's done a lot, but of course in our society he will never do enough....that's sad. But to stay positive I just want to tell my President CONGRATUALTIONS!!!
