Well said. The appropriate response would have been to inform the nobel committee how much they cheapened such a high honor by using it as a political bargaining tool. Reward people for their actions completed, not for their promises made. Shame on them for lowering the nobel prize to the level of a cracker jack box toy, and shame on Obama for accepting it.
