Obama received his Nobel peace prize recently. At the acceptance speech he spoke more than 4,000 words. This is two times the length that he spoke during his inaguration speech. In the speech he stressed the fact that many times war is needed and it cannot be dodged.
Obama refused to renounce war for his nation or under his leadership, saying defiantly that "I face the world as it is" and that he is obliged to protect and defend the United States.
This speech must have been a tough speech to deliver. In the midst of war and the ordering of more troops to Afghanistand Obama surely needed to pick his words wisely. I credit him for standing by his decisions and his movement to use more troops. I just think this would have been a no win speech to deliver. Obama definently has an important few months ahead of him . This was obvious because many people that attended the speech were baffled when he did not stay for the second day of festivities. I don't think they can blame him. He has a lot on his plate and a ton of issues to handle
