Obama was very explicitly promising to get out of the middle east wars.

Of course it's hard, but if that's true, then why is he making those promises, or worse, why is he being given a peace award based on those promises?



Are we going to pretend that a president not keeping promises from the campaign trail is somehow exceptional?


No, the awarding of a prize for promises is the exceptional part.


Do you have something showing that the committee awarded presidents based on their campaign promises?
