Comment on Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize: “What Has He Done?” by Anonymous:

I think the problem with how many Americans are taking it is that, for whatever reason, they see the prize as somehow having to be an award for his work in office. But the reality is that it’s more representative of his life struggle to overcome adversity and arrive at the position of his office, and how his struggle and open-minded diplomatic points of view have been inspirational to the rest of the world and helped the world have a better opinion of the United States.

A lot of Americans (especially Republicans, it seems) seem to think they understand 90% of the world when they’ve never even been to see most of it. Do you all really think TV and the Internet is enough to understand? The Republican “kill first, ask questions later” approach had really turned the world against the US, and Obama’s candid, self-effacing approach to diplomacy is so much more open-minded and approachable.

Why some Americans can’t see all this and appreciate it is really a mind-boggling thing (your Republicans certainly come across unnecessarily venemous and unsupportive considering).
