President for Peace

President Obama just won and accepted the Nobel Prize for Peace. It's really quite amazing. It will definitely add pressure to his expectations, but it also gives an opportunity to refocus his agenda. His words still resonate as he mentioned that he feels accepting this prestigious award is more of a "call to action" and that he accepts it "for all who strive for justice and dignity."

It's almost been a year since he was elected and everyone's still waiting for him to change the world (or at least all the big problems in America). Regardless of what policies get accomplished, with today's announcement, he's already changed so much. He has such a unique opportunity to speak to the world because apparently, everyone's listening.
