Mortenson is the guy who wrote Three Cups of Tea about his experience in Pakistan after falling ill trying to climb K2. He repays the village by building a school and he goes on to build 80+ schools for girls in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Yeah...giving a speech in Cairo is more important than that...

The President has a great opportunity here...he can turn down the award and say that he is honored and humbled but believes that it should be shared among the others nominated....

But he won't....even though the political capital created would be huge for him....

Which was utterly ridiculous (the speech and the claim to it).  Obama gave that speech well into his presidency.

If we're gonna award presidents on speeches, then Ronald Reagan should have gotten one for his Tear Down This Wall speech.
