How are most Poles taking the news?

No, please. I don't consider you and American people responsible for Obama. Even the majority has elected him.
For me it wasn't really important case. Our Primie Minister and President has kids playing like kids aroung the shield instead the providing good discussion about the shield (Is it important? does Poland need it? What's the prize? What abou Russia? etc.) Here, we had just few stupid slogans. And the question. What news? You mean Obama, shield, Lisbon Treaty?

Even if you don't think he deserves it, I would hope you would be happy for the President. I do understand that not everyone is from the US here. But the ones who are from the US, i don't understand. Do you guys want to go back to being one of the most hated countries? I know I don't, and I for one am glad Obama has such a following all over the world.

You have no right in this case. It's not important to me, in this situation, to accept USA as some category, just because Obama won the Prize. I didn't stard to like the US more or less. I don't like Obama, I don't like USA as a state, not a country. It's not the same, remember. Country is a historical, cultural thing. The USA form the beginning has many things to offer the world. The state was good in the past, but in the last years, Europe and USA are changing to worse, and Obama is the represantant of this change's line. I'm not happy with the USA going to be more and more familiar with many dying European states. Under Ron Paul, USA can be again the state worth to mention. "Look sonny at the Ocean. Here is Europe, and here is America. It's a free state. America is back to hers roots. Hopefully." Can you say, America is, today, free state? Under FED, and Obama, and bailout, and higher taxes than in the past? With illegal somewhere weapon, with which you want to feel secure? I really like USA, and I wish, that USA will be again a free state.
I'm not from the US, but try to understand your comrades(sorry for Soviet vocabulary, but i have no right world, I forgot). The can be not very happy of Obama's presidency. And of course, imagine how the comitee looks. It's not a voice of a people. Did people said, that Obama is working hard for world peace? No. This is the voice of the infuential people, who are creating new range of authorities. Do you think Al Gore did more than Irena Sendlerowa? Not beacuse she was polish. (BTW, Lech Walesa also shoudn't get the Nobel Prize) It doesn't mattes what nationalisty she is.
