Even the state-run media was surprised. The awarding of the Nobel Peace Price to President Barack Obama landed with a shock on darkened, still-asleep Washington. He won! For what?
For one of America's youngest presidents, in office less than nine months — and only for 12 days before the Nobel nomination deadline last February — it was an enormous honor.
The prize seems to be more for Obama's promise than for his performance. Work on the president's ambitious agenda, both at home and abroad, is barely underway, much less finished. He has no standout moment of victory that would seem to warrant a verdict as sweeping as that issued by the Nobel committee.
And what about peace? Obama is running two wars in the Muslim world — in Iraq and Afghanistan — and can't get a climate change bill through his own Congress.
His scorecard for the year is largely an "incomplete," if he's being graded.

Such a shock that a pro-abortion person would share the same honor as someone like Mother Teresa, who won in 1979.
Since early this morning, every time is read, hear, think, etc. etc. about this, I feel nauseous.
I can only imagine what God is thinking right about now. Perhaps he is pondering the good old days, when... Well, if you read the bible, there weren't that many good old days. A few prophets, often killed or having to hide, a few good kings, and always only a small, often oppressed, group who worshiped in their hearts and in the world, it seems.
All I can say is the world deserves what the world will get. A thing of both sadness and joy somehow. That is, if we truly love and if we also believe in justice.
