But I really don't think it is a bad thing that Obama received a prestigious international honor. To say that it is a bad thing smacks of an odd mix of xenophobia mixed with Obama derangement syndrome -- with a hint of anti-Americanism thrown in.

I don't know if he is really the best doctor I could have.
