ED KRAYEWSKI: Obama’s Dismal Record on Foreign Policy: The Nobel Peace Prize winner has not earned his award.

In 2009, President Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. As he himself admitted, the honor wasn’t bestowed on him for much he had yet done, but for what he was expected to do. As a candidate Obama got a lot of grief for promising in his nomination acceptance speech that his presidency would be the moment when the rise of the oceans would slow and the Earth would begin to heal, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee didn’t help by pinning an award on him based on expected “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”

Nearly three years later, the fruits of any strengthened international diplomacy or cooperation between peoples are bitter, if they exist at all.

Indeed.
