President Barack Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize

WASHINGTON--(Business Wire)--
Today, the Nobel Committee awarded the peace prize to President Barack Obama
only nine months into his presidency. According to the committee, the President
was awarded the prize due to his "efforts to strengthen international diplomacy"
and for creating "a new international climate in politics."

"Barack Obama`s campaign may have changed the tone in international diplomacy,
and that might have been a good thing," said John Tate, President of Campaign
for Liberty. "However, his actions fail to match his campaign rhetoric. He is
ramping up in Afghanistan, expanding the war into Pakistan and his
administration is making plans to bomb Iran. At the same time, he has failed to
make major troop withdrawals in Iraq, or anywhere else in the world."

The deadline for Nobel nominations is February 1st of the award year, merely ten
days after President Obama officially took office, which has caused some to
question whether the President has accomplished enough to be worthy of the
award. In addition, many believe that the administration`s continuation of many
of the Bush-era policies regarding Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran should term him
not qualified for such an award.

Ironically, after awarding the prize to former president Jimmy Carter in 2002,
the committee chairman offered that it should be considered "a kick in the leg"
to the Bush administration`s war policies.
