This got to be the biggest joke of the year. Or probably in the history of Nobel Prize. Obama and Nobel Peace prize? Dont get me wrong. I do like what Obama is doing but I certainly dint think he deserved a Nobel Peace Prize.
President Obama was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for his "efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."
I strongly disagree with the above statement. I doubt if Obama has done enough to strengthen international diplomacy or cooperation.I do agree that he probably has potential to do that. Yes, he does give speeches (definitely great ones) about furthering diplomacy.Yes, he is making efforts to bring parties together for negotiations and peace talks. He may be trying to get more peace into the world. But I dont see him deserving Nobel Peace Prize. He hasnt done enough to deserve it. There are a lot more people who did more than what he did and deserve it more.
To me it appears like a political move. In some sense, it might be a good thing since now he would be forced to keep up the image. He probably would pull the troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. I do commend his decision to shut down Guantanamo bay. Hope he continues to do much more such things to at least deserve Nobel Peace Prize.
