President Obama was recently awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for engendering and changing the attitude of the United States from a jingoistic go it alone mentality  with the idea of my way or the high way that turned a lot of countries off who refused to support us in blood and sweat in our endeavors.

 President Obama has attempted to offer some serious cerebral  thinking to the United States involvement through out the world. Remember he was the first person who talked about a with drawl from Iraq after our destruction of that country for over seven years with no national interest and over 5000 thousand lives lost.

 He has ordered a rethinking of involvement in Afghanistan where we have been bogged down for a decade without catching the bad guys who were responsible for 9/11 with no end in sight. He has engendered a rethinking of our health care system that leaves a fourth of it's population without access to affordable health care.

 

He is attempting to change our use of energy in order to save our planet by changing from fossil fuels to more natural forms of energy that does not pollute the environment. He wants to stop our oustracizing of the gay and lesbian community so that they can make valuable contributions to our society with out being denied do to their sexual orientation.

If you look at the history of those who received the Nobel Peace prize you will find that none  accomplished the goal that they had envisioned but they were rewarded for their forward thinking on the subject. Dr Ralph Bunche,Dr Martin Luther King, former president Jimmy Carter and former Vice paresident Al Gore none of these winners had seen their dreams come to fruition before they were awarded they didn't view our problems through a prism of because they are they will always be but saw things that were and  how much better they could be.

 The Nobel Peace prize is awarded to those who are transformed by the renewing of their mind.
