Barack wins Olympic medal for "Being There"

I must be from the old school. I always believed you earned a prize or medal. For example you had to compete and beat a bunch to win the Olympic gold. To win the medal of honor or Purple Heart you had to do something really special like save a ship or your platoon of men. When I received my diplomas I had to work hard to get them, pass many tests and courses. But of course that was then, now it must be in to simply be there to be awarded a prize or medal.And then one has to be a great football player to earn an Heisman.

Nowadays all you have to do is show up. Barack got the Peace Prize for what? What accomplishment has he ever completed let alone something great? This is media and idolatry at its worse. The nobel committee needs to be reviewed Perhaps we can ship the UN to Sweden and let both deliberate forever. What a sham.
