President Barack Obama recently received the Nobel Peace Prize.Many Americans were shocked to hear this. Obama received the prize for his foreign policies. I found it amazing the in a little less than a year he won the Nobel Peace Prize. The only person I heard who said anything good about this was believe it or not John McCain. He said, “We as an American people should be proud our president won.” President Obama took the 1.4 million dollars he received from the prize and donated it to charity.
I believe what John McCain said. I think Americans should be proud that Obama won. I was very shocked; I have to admit that this happened. I personally think, now this is just my opinion but I think Barack Obama should have provided a college football playoff and used the rest for his plan for health care. I think Obama himself was even shocked that he won the Nobel Peace Prize. Americans think that he did not do anything to earn this prize. Well, he won it didn’t he? People should not think that about people, that’s like saying that the Steelers did nothing to win the Super Bowl six times. President Obama said that speech in Africa about how the world must come together and he is handling Iran very maturely. Obama has done much more in foreign policies. George Bush must find that offensive because he never won any kind of big award in his eight years in office and Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize in less than a year.
I think when John McCain said what he said, I think he was saying thank you for all the times President Obama said all the nice things to McCain like in Obama’s health care plan. I believe more people need to grow up and be happy our president won. What I don’t understand is people who supported Obama don’t think he should have won and Republicans are disgusted with this year’s Peace Prize. I supported Barack Obama in 2008 and I’m glad he won, but I was extremely proud when John McCain mentioned that statement. What made me mad was Fox News just saying everything that was wrong about Obama winning. They said things like “This is a disappointment, America should not feel proud,” and more things like that. That is what was on my mind a few days after this was announced.
