Civility

The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to President Barack Obama this morning. http://NYTimes: Obama's Prize, Wilson's Legacy)You would have thought, if you read the blogs from the lunatic fringe that the Vikings had awarded the Prize and brought the wrath of Thor upon man (and woman) kind. "He has not accomplished anything"....."this is the final step in world-wide socialism".... the Nobel is just another "Dancing with the Stars" celebrity fest!
Well folks, for me, it brings back to America and us Americans a renewed sense of self-confidence. Obama has given the world another kind of America. We are not the bullying, arrogant, "with us or agin' us" fools. We are flawed and we have been self abosorb, but we are not unaware of this and we are trying to become our better half. Yes, the President of the United States is listened to when he speaks. And yes, the message will be tossed about for meaning.
Obama has brought a great gift to this country. He has restored the integrity of the United States of America. God help us if the looney birds because of their insane dislike or hatred of this man and his beliefs, manage to tarnish this. We, America, will be the butt of jokes and the laughing stock in the outside world. Let the grown-ups and the adults step-up and speak out!
