Obama wins the Noble Peace prize. People where shocked to here that President Barack Obama was the winner of the 2009 Noble peace prize. Norwegian Noble Committee say that by giving the peace prize to Obama is a early vote of confidence that will build global support for policies of his young administration. Others say that it is premature and too early. Obama who was surprised by win will be going to Oslo to receive the prize, but says that he doesn't feel that he deserves it. Obama will also be donating the 1.4 million award that comes with the award to charity. Obama is the third U.S. president to receive the peace prize. Theodore Roosevelt won it in 1906 and Woodrow Wilson won it in 1919. In his 1895 will, Alfred Nobel stipulated that the peace prize should go "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between the nations and the abolition or reduction of standing armies and the formation and spreading of peace congresses."
Well I could go on for hours about Obama, but I would have to agree with the majority that it is to early. What has he done? The man has only been president for 9 months and has done what. Yes he has done one thing that nobody else has ever done. He has became the first black president. He has done the same thing that all the other presidents before him and that is made a lot of promised that he has not kept. I mean he was running for president he said what he had to to win. I know what people will say about this blog, and no it has nothing to do with his race. I don't care weather or not he is black white purple or poke-it-dot. I don't feel that he has done anything to deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.
I mean if he can bring peace to Iraq or solve the world economy problems then great. That would be something. All I have seen is TV appearances and broken promises about ending the war. The man said himself that he does deserve it, but he did decline it either. The article calls him humble, I don't feel that is. Just because he said he didn't deserve the award. Then decline it and let someone who has done something great have it. Like I said before I could go on and on about Obama, because personally I am no a fan. The Nobel Peace Prize is for someone who has done something great and I don't feel that Obama has done great things. I mean he has a lot of ideas and a lot of irons in the fire, but he needs to show the world that he can follow through first.
With that being said I don't think you should reward the idea, but you should reward the action. Ideas Obama has, but I don't see the action.
