The news story is misdirected. The real story here is the Nobel Committee, not President Obama. And that’s been the story from the first day. Conservatives have railed against the fact that seemingly impartial organizations are not only notimpartial, but they increasingly seem to be working at odds with their mission statement. And yet, just because President Obama is the recipient of a skewed decision making process, conservatives focus on the recipient rather than the process. I believe that’s called “moving the goal posts.” And I put that in quotes because I’ve heard it so often from conservative circles in criticism of liberals.
