Dear Mr. President, I am dissapointed in you.

As most already know Barack Obama just won the Nobel Peace Prize. I am not really sure about how I feel about him receiving it so soon in his presidency. I mean, isn't it a little premature? So far he really hasn't done more than any "good" president should have done, or is doing--passing good laws, taking on long over-due initiatives. The last president to receive the Nobel Peace Prize while in office was Woodrow Wilson. He created the League of Nations, the first idea of an international dialogue between nations and was instrumental in the Treaty of Versailles. Has Barack Obama done anything close to that? Other than paying lip service to the way good diplomacy should be conducted, has he actually followed through?

I don't mean to say that Obama isn't a great motivator for peace. But, also in the news with him receiving the Prize was his refusal to meet with the Dalai Lama to keep the Chinese happy. This is not something a Nobel laureate should do. It is nothing more than ignoring a wrongfully disenfranchised group of people for selfish gain. It is in the U.S.'s economic interests to keep the Chinese happy. It's like ignoring atrocities happening in Africa, or unyielding taking the Israeli side in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. His actions of not meeting with the Dalai Lama showcase that he did not rise above to save human rights--I don't understand how a person "fighting for peace" would do this. When running for president he told all of us his administration wouldn't refuse to talk with anyone--meaning unpopular groups in the middle east and Korea. I don't understand, is the Dalai Lama so much worse?
