Obama's War with Fox News, His Firm Stand with the New Haven Police and His Decisive Stands in Iraq and Afghanistan win Him the Nobel Peace Prize...?

Maybe it's because his campaign promises are in "Pieces" !!! -- and oh yes, where's the "peace" in having Fox News excluded from the pool of news networks permitted to have representation at an interview of one of his underlings?

Don't get me wrong ... some of his campaign promises were in opposition to my core beliefs, but weren't we supposed to be out of Guantanamo, Afghanistan, Iraq and petty party bickering by now? Granted, he got the Harvard professor and the New Haven Police officer to sit down, smile and have tea and coffee together--or was it a beer--but wasn't he saying he would sit down with the leaders of the world's problem children (spelled I-R-A-N and N-O-R-T-H-K-O-R-E-A) in that same Rose Garden by now?

Now THAT would be worthy of consideration of a Peace Prize ... in say, three to five years, not nine months after he had barely been seated in the Oval Office.

And where is his courageous stance for a Health Care Reform package that will provide all Americans with the most basic of human dignity ... FREE! If we can pay for a "public option" for our police--and for our roads--and for our military forces--and for fire departments in nearly every town in America ... why can't we push up to the bar and say "This one's on me!" as regards all medical needs for all Americans NOW? Hellfire, I have no idea why we haven't added prescription drugs and dental needs to the Medicare that we older folks "enjoy" even now.

When I see some of my fellow older Americans (excuse me, "Senior Citizens" is the PC term, I guess) with three teeth, a noticeable limp and shattered eye-glasses, I feel the same way I feel when I run into persons who have no medical insurance and are waiting in an ER at Grays Harbor Community Hospital with little likelihood of getting care ahead of those who are fortunate enough (by birth, by their job skills or by their age) to be worthy of immediate care.

Well, now that you've earned [sic] that gold Nobel medallion, really EARN it, Mr. Obama.
