it's official! it's commendable of lady gaga to publicly support gay rights, but her speech was disingenuous (this is the most important moment of my career), lacks in depth (our generation, my generation), and is not even entertaining (i love judy garland). i was embarrassed for her. so many other unknowns could have moved the nation with their words.
nixon, on the other hand, was poignant (shared national interest), direct (passing legislation, repealing legislation and putting obama to the test), and moving (understanding this is beyond marriage, it's about equal responsibility, rights and protection under the law). she didn't deserved to be put in the same category as gaga as giving "remarkable speeches."
if he won on the concept of "hope" alone, i agree. americans are so insular, they do not understand that when obama won his election, there was a worldwide sigh of relief and then feelings of optimism. as far as peace keeping, i don't think continuing a war in iraq, funding a war in afghanistan, and not moving the palestinian crisis merits the prize though
