[Peace-discuss] Obama redeems himself with noble Nobel speech

[C. G. Estabrook]

   Much as I enjoy making parodies of ridiculous presidential speeches

   (see, e.g., <http://members.tripod.com/~sarant_2/ks5japan.html>, and/or

   <http://www.counterpunch.org/estabrook07032009.html>),

   I can't take credit for this one.
