BAH ! Obama Nobel Peace Prize

(click new post at top of blog to respond)

The Opinion People are Piling on.  Can't see what the  Prez has done to deserve the Nobel Peace Prize!  They are blinded by the unanimous vote.  Certainly few can move past the obvious intent of the Nobel Prize Committee.

This unique selection lays clear the European notion that the leader of the Free World -- the United States -- is back with a diplomatic vision more relevant then ever before.   It is cynical to think of this as merely an anti-George W. Bush vote.   How long could they maintain any credibility as the most respected prize in the world?

Perhaps if the Facts People ever return to journalism, we might actually learn why the Nobel Prize committee did what they did ... rather than seek the guesswork --loud though they may be-- of the Opinion People.

AllAfrica.com reports the U.S. has to defend President Barack Obama's major policy speech to the Muslim world because it takes place in an authoritarian country Egypt. Why not ... say critics ... why not make the speech in a democratic country like Indonesia?

BAH ! Mr. Obama's First 100 days

The Mainstream Media will likely give a grade for the first 100 days through the prism of their political positions.  Watch for it.  The way Fox assesses it will be different from MSNBC and different from CNN.  The way the Wall Street Journal handles it will be different from the way the New York Times reports on it.  Look beneath the covers for their editorial positions and whether it bleeds into their "objective" analysis.

Widen your reading list to include That Minority Thing, the Root and other multicultural opinion sites.  Get a balanced view.  Know what Limbaugh and O'Reilly think because they both influence a sizeable if shrinking number of influential voters.

See through the hypocrisy of today's shrinking newsrooms and exploding punditry to find a balanced and fair appraisal of President Barack Obama. In other words, go to the aggregators like Google News and Yahoo News !
