This is not an award per se, to my mind. It's not even really for Obama the president's achiue
It's a message, to America, from an international community that has had a deaf ear turned to it over the past eight years.
It is a message to our government and it is a message to us as a people.
A group of the best minds in the developed world is telling us in a way that it hopes we will at least notice and maybe, just maybe, *not* ignore, saying *Yes. More of this. This is what we want.*
Is it political? You're damn tootin'.
But, at least for this news cycle, it's getting our attention.
