Obama and the Peace Prize

People are too quick to criticize because they’re in the position to do so, they’re not leading a country, entering into office in the midst of a recession, a war that was supposed to be over, and trying to find the balance between helping people find jobs and have healthcare.

The video features photos from the Anti-Prop 8 Protest in Silver Lake I attended after its passing.
