Now Barack Obama has been added to the list for his…..what? He’s only been in office nine months. What exactly has he done that deserves this kind of recognition? “A little less conversation, a little more action please”. What about Ronald Reagan? I seem to remember the Berlin Wall coming down during his term of office, and um, Russia no longer being a threat to the planet. Those were kinda big deals. He never won the Nobel Peace Prize and here stands Obama, whose presidency began less than two weeks before the Feb. 1 nomination deadline for the prize and has yet to yield concrete achievements in peacemaking. What's going on?
