      He would have, but Lê Đức Thọ refused the award.

    Trump got the FIFA peace price. Does that not mean anything to you?

        Obama had the class to wait until after he was given the peace prize before bombing the ever loving shit out of the middle east.

    No way, he’s gotta at least be the second. Kissinger won a nobel prize, and so did the red cross, and you can’t tell me Kissinger never bombed the red cross.

    The US government is corrupt no matter what party. Some politicians are worse than others, but most are in it to gain power and money. Representing the people has long been tossed aside.

    I feel he will be more remembered for activating a generation of stupid, pliable people afraid of black men to vote against their interests so they don’t feel as impotent as they just proved to be with their own action.

      He’s the president. All military activities are dictated by their direction.

        Not every operation is directed by the president. He was the president. He tried to close Gitmo, but congress blocked him.

          These drone strikes were part of his expansion of drone warfare in Iraq, Afghanistan, and it expanded into several other countries. Congress didn’t pass a bill to stop him from being less of a war criminal.

        No, and I do not think he deserved the peace prize.
