What about Al Gore did he deserve the NPP for his views on Climate Change? Did you ever hear about Irena Sendler?
She was a NPP nominee the same year as Al Gore (2007). Here is her story.
There recently was a death of a 98 year-old lady named Irena. During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an 'ulterior motive' ... She KNEW what the Nazi's plans were for the Jews, (being German.) Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried and she carried in the back of her truck a burlap sack, (for larger kids..) She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers of course wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the kids/infants noises.. During her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants. She was caught, and the Nazi's broke both her legs, arms and beat her severely. Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out and kept them in a glass jar, buried under a tree in her back yard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived it and reunited the family. Most had been gassed. Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted. In 2007 she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, but Al Gore won for a slide show on Global Warming.
Did he deserve it? Did you also know that there were 203 nominees this year for the NPP. The most ever. Are you really saying that it was okay for Obama to win b/c European countries support him as our leader?
Again this has nothing to do with Obama, but more the NPP committee electing someone who has not done a thing for peace. We don't know the names of the other 202 candidates, but what if someone in the candidates actually did something for peace instead of promising to do something?
I don't care anyway you slice it - I don't think he should have won. Especially not yet.
