It's only been about a year. Nothing like moving in a timely fashion.

Lets be fair to the guy.He said he didn't deserve the award when he was chosen.The Europeans picked him for this award.Had he refused the award he would have been labeled the rude ugly American.He accepts the award and donates the money to charity.Whats wrong with that? I'm a republican,I did not vote for the guy and I give him a lot of grief.That said,lately he can't take a piss without someone second guessing him.Would it be better that he accept an award he sais he does not deserve and keep the money for himself? How well would that go over? I disagree with the President on 80% of his policies,but I find that I have to defend him on this decision.
