Haters are gonna Hate. Ask Obama.

So what is it now? What's Obama's latest "offense to the world?" Well, as it turns out, that awful man won the Nobel Peace Prize.  How dare he?!?! How despicable! 

Wait...what? You guys are hating on our president for winning one of the most prestigious recognitions in the world?  Do you really hate the man THAT much? Do you want so bad to be right about all the negative things you've said about him that you'll find something wrong in everything he does? Even his accomplishments?  Seriously?

In all fairness, some of you make valid points.  Indeed, Obama has not been president for even a year yet. Most of his plans have not had a chance to come to fruition, and there is no definite that they will (especially with haters that will do anything to see him fail).  So in your opinion, he is obviously undeserving of this achievement.  I can see that.  In fact, this is one of the better arguments I've heard against Obama. Not GREAT. But better. Good job. Now let me respond.

1. Obama did not elect himself to be the Nobel Peace Prize winner. Nor did he nominate himself.  In fact, he's probably in a very awkward place right now having won it during the world's current climate. So get off his sack. It wasn't his choice.

2.  Your hating on the man, our president, for a tremendous honor.  Sounds pretty childish to me. It's almost funny even.  I'm reminded of a certain Kanye West who criticized a certain Taylor Swift for winning a certain Video Music Award for her accomplishments.  Much less significant, I know.  But I wonder whose side you were on for THAT one.  Whom might you have called a crybaby?

3.  Name the last 5 Nobel Peace Prize winners.  You know what, name 5 winners in the HISTORY of the award.  If you can do that with little challenge, without looking it up, then I'll perhaps begin to believe that you're really concerned with who wins the award, and not just that Obama won the award.  

4. Do you even know how the Nobel Peace Prize winner is selected?  Do you know what makes one qualified?  That should be a key part to your argument, no? After all, if you're saying someone is unqualified you have to know what the qualifications are, right? I mean certainly you wouldn't argue in ignorance, would you? So of course you know that the award is not designed to recognize peace efforts AFTER they've become successful (although one CAN receive the award for this.)  The truth is, MOST of the awards are given to people in order to encourage them to continue with their efforts and plans to bring about human rights, democracy, and of course peace, especially during times of noted turmoil or conflict.  But why am I telling you what you CLEARLY already know?

Man, Obama can't get a break, can he? He has been severely hated on SINCE he put in his bid for the presidency.  His faith has been called into question.  His experience.  His wife.  His past. Now his achievements.  And let's not forget the BIG ONE.  President Barack Obama is a black man! Hey, maybe his blackness is one of the main reasons everything else about him is being called into question.  And I don't doubt that some of you will PROBABLY think I'm pulling the race card for saying that.  And to that I'll say, you're pulling the "Race Card" card which is conveniently used by certain others to dismiss complaints of very real acts of racial injustice or discrimination.  Well put away your "Race Card" card and WAKE THE HELL UP!  It's a little too much of a coincidence that our first BLACK president is being attacked and criticized and questioned and scrutinized and doubted and hated as much as he is in a country that just happens to have an awful racist past towards blacks.  Even Bush didn't get it this bad this early on... and we've all witnessed HIS incredible speaking ability, intelligent statements, and sound judgement.  I mean think about it: A black man's noteworthy accomplishments/intelligence/goodness being questioned?  That sounds familiar. Where have I heard that one before?  Oh WAIT! That sounds like American history.  

But here's the thing.  Obama was voted into office by the MAJORITY of the U.S.  He is supported by numerous countries around the world.  So the haters are in the minority.  How about that?  YOU are in the minority. Frustrating isn't it?  Can I discriminate against you now? Can I question your intelligence and accomplishments? After all, you are a minority. Isn't that how we treat you? 

Clearly I support Obama. Please enjoy (or hate on) this song I wrote during Obama's presidential run. It's called "We Know."
