I really have a hard time with Chris Christie's obesity.
How can a responsible person be so fat in this day and age? He's not even old, rather, just huge.
I question him because of his fatness.

Peace Price
Before this weekend I paid little attention to the Nobel Peace Prize award given to President Obama. That is until the right-wing (and I'm sure others) started ripping him for having received it, and those who rewarded it to him.
Once I heard the facts, how the deadline for the award was only 12 days after he came into office it started to make sense why he won the award. Others have been critical of what he has done in office, and how he "hasn't done enough to warrant" receiving it.
Really?
I want to point out that having won the office of the Presidency, being the first minority to have ever done so, to run a campaign based on "change", and helping America overcome the previous 8 years while promising a turning of the corner going forward is ENOUGH! No one else in history has ever come close to winning the Presidency in this racist ass country, and this man did it. He has put his life on the line in doing so, and will every day going forward as more and more people speak of him as illegitimate, amongst other terms.
He represents change and opportunity to so many people not just in America, but around the world, that a minority could win the supposedly most important job in the world. He has created a sense of opportunity and pride, as well a greater sense of oneness throughout the world, and that is a step towards a more peaceful planet.
Unless you want to downgrade the position he has achieved, his accomplishment, and the symbolism of what he has done, then it's hard to say he's not worthy. However, I would assume those people who would disparage his accomplishments are the very people who act as if racism and world harmony are not really problems. Ironically, it's often the racists themselves who feel this way; those who are speaking the loudest against him now.
