Now, anyone that reads this knows that I like Obama. I think that he has been a good President. I think though that even Barack himself must wonder why the hell he was given the Nobel Peace Prize?! Really the committee screwed up. No U.S. President should be given the award for Peace. There are too many things that a U.S. President has to do that should block them from ever being considered?! How many other Nobel Laureates authorize drone strikes on people? I mean, don't get me wrong, I am sure that Mulah Mansour was a bad dude.... but Obama personally authorized that strike. Obama, who is also the Commander in Chief, is ultimately responsible for the gunship strike that mistakenly destroyed the Doctors Without Borders hospital in Afghanistan on October 3, 2015. That HAS to be the first time that one Nobel Laureate blew-up another Nobel Laureate?! This world is crazy.

It is great to see a President that is moving closer and closer to leaving office that is trying to get things done. The legacy of Obama seems to include the following items: Saving the U.S. auto industry during the economic crisis early in his tenure, ending the governmental discrimination of the LGBTQ community and getting millions of people in this country health coverage despite the rough start by the Affordable Care Act. Obama continues to be dogged by fighting in Afghanistan, Iraq, the rise of the so called Islamic State, the fact that Guantanamo Bay remains open and way too many mass shootings in this country. Now Obama seems to be turning his sights on race relations and possibly gun control because they are on his "Sounds like bucket list..." because they are the right things to do. We will see.
Today's quote is from Winston Churchill:
"You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else."
