It seems to me appalling that Mr. Obama has used his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech as a platform to justify war. The Nobel committee is first of all to blame for this extremely unwise and at best premature choice. It's going to be a good long time before I'm going to watch the President quote Gandhi and Martin Luther King without gagging. The repetitious slogans were effectively delivered in his campaign speeches, but I'm having trouble seeing how this man can be considered a great orator. This address was pedestrian, devious, and unfelt. Somewhere he is preparing himself for a future life of guilt feelings and ruefulness, like so many before him, notably LBJ.
