Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

JB, I don't think anyone disputes the Obama is wonderful at campaigning and giving speeches, but that historically has not been the basis for a Nobel Peace Prize.

From the wild Irish slums of the 19th century Eastern seaboard, to the riot-torn suburbs of Los Angeles, there is one unmistakable lesson in American history; a community that allows a large number of men to grow up in broken families, dominated by women, never acquiring any stable relationship to male authority, never acquiring any set of rational expectations about the future -- that community asks for and gets chaos. Crime, violence, unrest, disorder -- most particularly the furious, unrestrained lashing out at the whole social structure -- that is not only to be expected; it is very near to inevitable. And it is richly deserved. ~ Daniel Patrick Moynihan (Democrat, NY)
