The petition reads:
As was President Obama, we were surprised at the decision of Nobel Committee. Like President Obama, we also recognize this award ‘as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations.” The President concluded his acceptance remarks by saying, “That has always been the cause of America. That is why the world has always looked to America. And that's why I believe America will continue to lead.
We the undersigned South Carolinians proudly congratulate President Obama on this award its recognition of the vital role and moral leadership our country is playing in the world today.
We are also deeply saddened by those politicians and critics in South Carolina and elsewhere who have use the occasion of this high honor to launch cheap, partisan and petty attacks on the President and our country’s global leadership. Their mindless attacks say more about them and their character than it does about Pres. Obama.
We can best respond to such sordid tactics by quoting Pres. Obama’s words in his Nobel acceptance speech, “We can't allow the differences between peoples to define the way that we see one another, and that's why we must pursue a new beginning among people of different faiths and races and religions; one based upon mutual interest and mutual respect.”
We agree.
Congratulations Mr President. You make us all proud.
