Depending on which side you are on, Obama has either already earned his Nobel Peace Prize or still needs to show reason for his award. Regardless of the camp you reside in, the fact is that Obama has already received and accepted his Nobel Prize, and apparently now he will have his chance to "earn" it. An environmental advocacy group is urging Obama to boldy move to stop this catastrophic climate change. I guess the rational is that if Al Gore gets a Nobel for raising awareness for global warming, then Obama can earn his by fighting the climate change.
The only thing that comes to mind, for me, is what did we elect Obama for? It certainly wasn't to win a Nobel so why can't we get past his award? We can't agree on a health care package, regulate wall street, or agree on what to do in the wars in Irag and Afghanistan so it only makes sense to not agree on the Nobel committee decision as well. Obama is clearly not afraid to fill his Presidency with big issues immediately after taking office and now he gets to deal with earning his Nobel. At least in 2012 it'll make for a great political ad.
