Yesterday, I awoke eager to read the paper. A friend of mine told me that he had been interviewed for a story that would appear in yesterday's Chicago Tribune, and the story was a candidate for page one. Needless to say, I immediately checked the front page of the Chicago Tribune yesterday. If no big news happened, I was expecting to see my friend's article near the top of the Tribune webside.
But big news happened: President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize.
As this Washington Post article points out, people had very different reactions to the news that President Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. There was Greg Mankiw's cynicism, Barack Obama's apparent surprise, unwavering support and pride in Obama's new honor. Moreover, people wrote articles about the prize being an incentive (negative, positive), and Obama himself said it is a "call to action."
That brings me to the timely question of the week.
How does Obama's Peace Prize make you feel?
(a) Proud
(b) Confused
(c) Hopeful
(d) Angry
The poll is open for a week, so please vote and tell your friends to vote. I look forward to seeing the results.
