Obama Accepts His Peace Prize

Today in Oslow, Norway President Obama accepted his Nobel Peace Prize amid much backlash of him not being deserving.

This acceptance has even more irony that almost two weeks prior President Obama declared that he was sending 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan.

President Obama's humility knows that he doesn't deserve this award, but he will accept that in order to bring peace there must be war. He will do everything he can to bring peace to world.

Is He Right or Wrong?? President Obama to Send More Troops

Last night, President Obama gave a speech at West Point Military Academy to announce his disicions to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan. Many people are not thrilled about the desicion and want all troops to return home. OF course initially you think huh? But if you think about it, President Obama is doing the right thing.

President's Obamas mission is to finish what we originally said we needed to do and reverse the Talibans momentum.

After 9/11 happened it was clear that the Taliban were attempting to destroy the United States at its core. But instead of tackling Afghanistan head on, Bush created a decoy known as "weapons of mass destruction" and morphed a war that should have been against the Taliban into the War against IRAQ aka "Mission: Annihilate Sudam Hussein."

So do you really think President Obama is playing us by sending more troops and extending the timeline to 3 years or is he just further facilitating the war we should have been fighting since jump?!

One of my good friends and FBG said to me on Twitter: @CocoChrissy I dont know if they 4get that it literally took 8 yrs 2 screw things up. No good course of action can be implemented overnight

I agree.. people forget that the mess Bush created over 8 years is the same mess Obama is attempting to clean up in half that time. And to be quite honest, I don't know a better person for the job!

Education is Power, isn't it?

President Barack Obama gave a wonderful speech yesterday addressing grade school children to work hard in school so they can be successful in life. For the life of me I can not understand why they (conservatives) were so up in arms about OUR PRESIDENT encouraging children (who are our future) to work hard and stay in school so that they can be successful. Can some one please break it down to me what was so wrong with this ?! Some right wing school districts around the country even went as far as refusing to show the President's speech because they felt like he was trying to push his political agenda to grade school students? REALLY?!?! It really saddens me that people try to tarnish President Obama's legacy anyway they can.

Here at Fabulous Brown Girl we believe that children can not be encouraged enough that their education is important! EDUCATION IS KEY!!

"The truth is, being successful is hard. You won't love every subject you study. You won't click with every teacher. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right this minute. And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try," Obama said.

Being the father of grade school children himself, he said what any responisble parent would tell their child.

If you haven't had a chance to see the President Obama Speech, please take time to listen to him.. Inspirational as always!!
