Obama...Really?

for those of yall who havent yet heard---Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize.

prior to even commenting on that, let me say just say that i am a supporter of Obama. i think he's done a great job at inspiring. He has broken every barrier that was previously thought of as being unbreakable. I have much respect for him and am looking forward to the chnanges he has promised to make.

but

im kinda surprised that the award went to Obama this year.
the Nobel Peace Prize has a history of going to "the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses" ---according to industrialist & inventor Alfred Nobel, whom the prize is named after.

now i can sorta kinda see where they were going when they picked Obama but i feel as if he hasnt yet deserved it. Thats a MAJOR honor. like COLOSSAL. I do believe that Obama has the potential to indeed reach all the requirements set forth by Alfred Nobel but i dont feel as if he has yet accomplished em all. I respect Prez Obama & im happy for him but im still kinda "eh" on the whole situation.

***UPDATE: i forgot to mention this when i first made the post earlier, but i love how he's donating the milli & change of prize money to charity.
Obama baby. =)

& for anyone who perceives this as me attacking Mr. President or disregarding his efforts in any way. No celibacy for your ass cuz you obviously cannot understand the difference between simple disagreement & blatant disregard.

that is all
