Achievements do not have to be made, but progress must be underway, which it is. NOBODY is even taking into account his efforts for a nuclear weapons free world

Mike, your analogy on heavyweight championship title is FAR from accurate
Heres the thing, everyone who is so critical of Obama and what he has or hasn't done seem to dwindle the fact that NOBODY has done what the man has done.. not one person. To his critics he's done nothing but in reality he's made history. I praised H.W Bush for being the first and only President to have an MBA, the man is very intelligent even though many claim him to be an idiot. Obama has done some pretty amazing things considering his upbringing, his story is quite inspiring to those who have similar backgrounds.

Now this award is pre-emptive I will say that and it would have been better to wait.. but nonetheless he won and a simple 'congratulations' is not asking too much.
