Obama on the Nobel Peace Prize
By having the courage to challenge the skeptics in Washington and lead on the climate crisis facing our planet, Al Gore has advanced the cause of peace and richly deserves this reward. His voice and his vision have awakened the conscience of America to the urgency of this threat, and now we must take bold action so that our children inherit a planet that is cleaner, safer, and more peaceful for generations to come.

3. Again, why are you placing Obama second?
Sounds like you don't think he can win at the top of the ticket.

5. Nope
His inexperience shows every so often in ways that make my teeth ache.

Obama has good potential, but he needs 4-8 years as VP to bring out his best.

6. True
but I doubt Hillary would play second place to him, and I suspect that would be the case for many of them.

All of the candidates have invested a great deal of effort and money into this, so such feeling are hardly evil.
