Obama won an award for doing nothing based on political trands and agendas - consider what these five fools from Norway did as a European nod of approval for the person (which could have been damn near any person) that replaces the tyrant remembered as George W. Bush. But I believe there to be a much deeper political cause for this unexpected choice in award and the undeserving individual it went to. This "cause" I speak of is the Communist Chinese Party's agenda (I em placing an emphasis on the CCP because it is entirely party driven in China, not people driven). One of the individuals, or forerunner from what I gathered, up for the Nobel Peace Prize was a Chinese citizen by the name of Hu Jia, a Chinese activist of years now imprisoned by the Chinese government for "subverting state power." China is become a global player, in term of politics and economics, I have no doubt that they may have displaced some leverage in order to eliminate any attempt by the committee to award Hu Jia. Some might smirk at this mere mention of China using political/economic might to get what it wants, but how else could they get the Olympics. Don't get me wrong, I love China, I love my Chinese brothers and sisters and having married a Chinese, I feel as if in some way, I am part Chinese or at least have glimpsed a little further into China than most "lao wai." These people suffers in ways both seen and unseen - they deserve a fair government and even fairer chance of success in life. I have no doubt that, Nobel or not, change will happen within the People's Republic of China someday - Change is a constancy that is repeated time and again in ancient Chinese texts; change is forever - Hu Jia and his family are the embodiment and enactors of this said change. Our hearts go out to you and your family. Godspeed.
