I think it is a real honor, not just for the President, but for all of us and a recognition that the America that was the hope of people everywhere, is struggling back from the brink of the ossification that precedes the decline of great states.
The right wingers are beginning to go predictably bat shit. Matt Drudge whines "For What?"
I have a possible answer for the hysterics on the right. It is a simple answer, really, but it also involves something they are seemingly wholly unfamiliar with...HOPE.
The change of direction in both our diplomacy and foreign policy, speaks of a hope that maybe, just maybe, the 'Fuck everybody! Get out of the way, or we'll kick your ass,' posture adopted under George the Simple and his advisors, Cardinal Richelrove and Lord Vader, is really a thing of the past.
We still have a long way to go, but we are on that path which leads to a chance at real peaceful co-operation.
Hope is the greatest weapon in the 'war on terror' that one can wield.
That is a concept foreign to the right wingers.
Maybe Glenn Beck will cry. Last week, as he announced the failure of Chicago to win the Olympics, he was carrying on like he was in the throes of an orgasm. It will be fun to listen to the squealing and snivelling from the right.
Meanwhile, this prize belongs to the People of America as well as the POTUS. Let's be grateful to our Spirit, the Spirit of Hope.
