He plans to travel to Oslo next month to accept the Nobel Peace Prize, an award that even Obama has said he does not deserve. And this coming week, he sets out on a weeklong tour of Asia.

Peoples Press Collective —
... When the wall dividing Communist East Berlin from free West Berlin fell, I was in 7th grade. I then had some small sense of the historic nature of the event, but through the past two decades of personal experience and historical perspective my appreciation has grown mightily. I only wish our President saw the commemoration as important as making a campaign speech, lobbying for the Olympics, or accepting an undeserved Nobel Peace Prize. ...
