Should Obama receive another peace prize for averting war in Ukraine?

The world knows that had it not been for our great leaders such as Obama and Kerry traveling to Ukraine, that country would be a mess right now, but thanks to the resolve and steadfastness of these great men, peace prevails. How about another medal for Obama?

What he should receive is a jail cell for the numerous other transgressions he's committed against the American people.

Obama's Response to Russia Begins to Unfold | Mother Jones

Oh wait. What's this?

The United States prepared Monday to impose sanctions on high-level Russian officials involved in the military occupation of Crimea, as the escalating crisis in Ukraine prompted turmoil in global markets, pounding the Russian ruble and driving up energy prices....If Moscow does not reverse course, officials said they would ban visas and freeze assets of select Russian officials in the chain of command as well as target state-run financial institutions.

Hey, it looks like the weakling-in-chief is doing exactly what the hawks have been clamoring for him to do. But how about those economic sanctions?

U.S. sanctions would mean little to Moscow as U.S. trade accounts for less than 2% of the Russian economy. “Our levers of influence here are particularly limited here,” says a House Democratic aide. “The administration is working on lining up support in Europe. But that’s the big question: how proactive, how robust are they willing to be.”

And, um, how do the Europeans feel about this?

German officials emphasized the need for diplomacy, while Dutch diplomats ruled out sanctions for now. A British document photographed by a journalist said the government of Prime Minister David Cameron would not support trade sanctions or block Russian money from the British market....“It’s particularly important for the United States to bring Europe along,” said Julianne Smith, a former national security aide to Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. “To the extent that the United States tries to put economic pressure on Russian industry, they won’t feel the impact as much as they would if we had Europe standing with us. That’s easier said than done.”

Look: it's obvious that none of this stuff can be done overnight. So maybe the peanut gallery on the right should hold off on the sophomoric name calling for another day or two. Obama is already working on the unilateral actions that are open to him, and other, broader sanctions simply won't have any serious effect unless and until the Europeans go along. No president can make that happen with a snap of his fingers.

Sure!! Why the hell not? The Nobel committee jumped the shark a long time ago.... Apparently, liberals are so impressed with "awards" , they make sure to give them out to everyone who participates in anything!!! They especially seem to enjoy grandiose sounding awards. Like the fools who are destroying Walter Cronkite's legacy - this turkey was awarded the "Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism" after a whopping 3 days on the air!!!

They awarded Obama the "peace prize" before he'd even taken a shit in the Oval office toilet. It's hard to take many of these groups seriously......
