Don't know if any of you saw this, but she's pretty amazing:

We watched it when it aired. Yeah, she's pretty remarkable. It was fun watching Jon Stewart interview her, too. He was astoundingly gentle with her.

I thought it was quite interesting how she almost kicked into oratory mode when speaking.

[merithyn]

She definitely knew her lines.

[Admiral Yi]

She's awesome.

Why didn't she win the Nobel?

[merithyn]

She's awesome.

Why didn't she win the Nobel?

There was concern over her age. A number of former Nobel Peace Prize winners came out and said that it may not be in her best interest to win it at her age. It set a standard that she may never be able to live up to.

I'm not sure that I agree, but they did raise some interesting points.

[The Brain]

She can still win The Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. It's no Nobel Prize, but might work as consolation prize.

[merithyn]

I could see her winning it another year. We're going to continue to see a lot of her, I think.... I hope.

That's a lame excuse, the same thing happens to much older winners.

[The Brain]

Obama hasn't been able to repeat the enormous achievement that gave him the Prize.

[Berkut]

Saw that one live, she is pretty awesome.

It was interesting to see how Stewart treated the Secretary from the Administraion the night before compare to the kid gloves he used on her. Not inappropriate of course, but interesting.

I look at her, then look at my 13 year old son, and yeah, he has some work to do.

Agree.

I think she said it best, you dont know how important something is until it is taken from you.  We in North America take education for granted and we as parents have a bit of a battle convincing them how important it is.

Plus, she is 16, he has a few years to get nominated.

[crazy canuck]

She definitely knew her lines.

These are almost word for word exactly the same lines she used with a Canadian interviewer.

after being asked the same question a hundred times you use the same answers again and again.
