In these recent days things have gotten very divisive and we see just how hard the path to change is, but Obama is clear that he is not going to quit on the American people. No matter how difficult things are at home, Obama has already brought change to the world, he has changed the tone of aggression to one of peace and equality. With his progress with Korea, Russia and Iran we see the possible results when people are trying to work with him and not just stalling for political purposes. He treats other leaders with dignity and respects the sovereignty of nations. For all who question why Obama won they just need to listen to the reasons given by the committee. We are all very proud of President Barack Obama. Americas standing in the world has improved according to country rankings of most admired nation.
