I agree, this is a little over the top. He has the potential to be one of our great presidents but this is a little premature.
http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/10/09/nobel.peace.prize/index.htmlLast week I was at a volleyball match at Mundelein HS. Mundelein is an affluent northern suburb of Chicago, home to many doctors, lawyers, and fund managers. On the way to the gym I stopped by a display case about the four presidents from Illinois. Barack Obama's name was misspelled. Barak. I emailed the school on their web site the next morning, nicely. An equally nice response came back -- I am embarrassed and we will correct it today. And I bet he made sure it was. Very different school district -- his position is Director of Communications, which I don't believe Round Lake HS has,and he has a PhD.
