Now President Obama has earned that Nobel Peace Prize.

[Faygo Kid]

OK, it was premature when he was awarded it in 2009. I admit that. But look at what he has done since then: Ended the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, reached out to nations around the world, shook hands with the Cuban leadership, and even negotiated an arms treaty with Iran (with support from many other nations, hello). He's no Chamberlain, he's a tough peacemaker, and that will be his legacy.

I'm in my mid-60s, and I remember the Cuban missile crisis vividly. And so much more, including the insane errors of Vietnam and Iraq. This is a great president on foreign policy, and it's time to recognize it.

1. Iran, Cuba, not starting a war with Russia, fighting the terrorists in Congress for 6 years.

They should have given him more than one.

2. It's a Big Deal and he's been brilliant.

3. Spc. John M. Dawson, 22, of Whitinsville, Massachusetts, died April 8 in Jalalabad

The war in Afghanistan is not over.

Secretary of State Kerry negotiated a framework for a possible teaty with Iran. Thee is no treaty yet.

We are bombing ISIS targets in Iraq and Syria.

i think you are a bit premature about peace.

4. We have troops in Iraq and he has extended the time

troops will be in Afghanistan. Those wars are not ended. He has increased drone strikes in Pakistan and Yemen. There is no agreement with Iran. If shaking hands will get you the Nobel prize then most presidents should get it.

9. Donnie Rumsfelt

Shaking hands with Sadam Hussain.
Good on you!!

6. He has accomplished much

under very trying circumstances, and I believe he is a great president.

7. Don't forget that he also signed the "New START" treaty

with then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev back in 2010 before Putin reared his ugly head back into the Russian Presidency.

[dirtydickcheney]

8. Puhleeazzzeeee.... he bombs people with drones and is the final say in extrajudicial assassination.

Nobody who does these two things deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.

Not before.

Not ever.

10. If he rams through TPP all the good he has done will be undone and overshadowed by

the accelerated destruction of the middle class caused by TPP.
