I think that the fact that president Obama has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize is a world vote of confidence and hope. Personally I don't see where enough has been done to justify the award, but lets look at the campaigm for change that the president ran on.

The only way to extricate ourselves from the mess that we are now in is to change the way that we are doing many things. I think that the world community sees that this administration is sincere on their pledge and is responding to it in a positive way.

I think that our president has cleverly changed the course of our foriegn policy to get maximum cooperation from the world community. I certainly hope that he can keep the momentum going in the direction that it is.

This is an era in our history which is very critical to our survival as a nation. It is a time which should and will be remembered throughout history. A government service ring would be a prime method of commemorating these historic times.
