Thank you, Denise Niesman, for congratulating President Obama. I, too, believe he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.

He has elevated the hopes of people throughout the world who yearn for peace through justice. He listens, not only to his circle of expert advisers in Washington, but to those who have grievances with our country. And he looks for solutions to problems, like health care reform, which will benefit all Americans.

He is ushering in a new style of leadership which should gather multinational support, not because of our military strength, but because we have found new directions that will improve the living conditions of people everywhere.
