"I voted for the president in both elections but I do not feel he ever deserved the Nobel Peace Prize! Please rescind it!"   Carol H., Michigan City, IN

"Please start with Henry Kissinger before Obama, whose hands are tied."   Bob S., Gibsons, BC, Canada

"Giving him a Nobel Peace Prize is an affront to the deep heritage of true peacemakers who well deserved it. Obama has waged continuous war, torture and other violence since being President. Please revoke   it now."    Barry S.,  Macdoel, CA

"Bush gave us 2 unfunded wars. Will Obama add a few more? Stop wars, drones and killing with other people's children."   Burt S., Pompton Plains, NJ

"I voted for Obama -- twice. I am very sad to sign this petition, but I believe in my heart, what he has done with drones is totally wrong!"  Gloria H., Santa Rosa, CA

"Obama's deeds do not match his words."   Evalyn S., Walnut Creek, CA

"You lost any credibility giving Obama the peace prize. Fix it."   Camilo B., Long Beach, CA

"Obama's harsh treatment of whistleblowers who are trying to expose the outlandish abuses of the military/corporate state disqualify him from any awards given to peacemakers."   David L., Alamosa, CO

"It's real sad that the promises that were made by Barack Obama concerning nearly everything have been lost with his sellout to corporate greed. We need a real leader for Peace."   Al B., Ignacio, CO

"I had high hopes for this President when I voted for him. I believed him to be a peace maker, unlike the hawk who was his predecessor. However, there seems to be no effort at peacemaking, at reconciliation,   at hope, and killing-by-drone simply leads to more fear and hatred. I fear the day that the government will try to control US with them, too."    Louise A., Greenfield, MA

"You gave him the Nobel Peace Prize too soon. His use of drones and killing of innocent civilians attests to his being anything but a peace-maker."   Rev. Sandy G., San Francisco, CA

"It is not a good example of what peace means when the Nobel Prize is awarded to the leader of a nation engaging in war as a business strategy. Make a statement, please."   Chandra P., Walsenburg, CO

"I, like so many others, gave this man the benefit of the doubt. It has been thrown back in our faces."   Chris C., Harrogate, Great Britain

"He never deserved it and he hasn't earned it. Yes, please, take it back."   Jackie F., Oakland, CA

 "The Nobel Peace Prize should not be awarded to war mongers and war criminals. Therefore, please revoke the Peace Prize you awarded to President Obama in 2009."   Fred N., Pleasanton, CA

"It is with deepest regret we ask for this but our President's actions have not lived up to the high honor of promoting peace."  GlendaRae H., South Bend, IN
