His intelligence, thoughtfulness and global sensitivities represent a sea-change from the myopic, narcissistic and belligerent anti-cooperative tenor of Bush Jr's foreign policy. Obama has brought the U.S. into the 21th Century - that is worth recognition.John: I'm just tickled the Great Messiah is finally taking his lumps from the comedians. Laughter greeted his beer summit -- and his wimpy reaction to feminist whining about men's basketball. Left and right both laughed at the Seinfeld Peace Prize, his award for doing nothing. Way to go, Nobel Committee.Susan: The Nobel Committee got more publicity about their award to Obama than they've received in the 100 plus years the Peace Prize has been around. Maybe they hired a new marketing firm with instructions to up the profile. Obama's careful analysis of Afghanistan suggests the Committee got it right.John: The President was embarrassed by this, and he should be. It was a putdown by jealous Europeans who resent the idea of a strong and confident America. Obama's foreign policy has three planks: Undermine our allies. Embolden our enemies. Weaken our country. Many of us vehemently disagree, Nobel Prize or not.
