Obama: US president: Nobel Peace Prize 2009 Obama was sworn in as president on Janurary 20 2009. The deadline for Nobel Peace Price is February 1 2009 which means he would have been nominated for Peace award within 10 days of his office based on his speech. As we all know, obama became famous all over the world because of his famous speech 'Yes We Can Change'. Did anything changed till now?? Yes it changed in Iraq and Afghanistan. But of no use. He is planning to pull out the military troops from Iraq by August 2010. And He deployed more troops at afghanistan in the name of war against terrorism as his predecessor Mr.George Bush did. What else changed?? Even the famous Times newspaper in USA was not supporting for its president. Some people even say that nobel peace prize was given just for anti-bush moto not really for pro-obama. Talk show host rush limbaugh's website featured the headline "Our president is a laughingstock" and portrayed Obama as the darling of "European leftist elites." It was just to please Mr.Obama and USA thus failling to serve its basic function. The 1983 Laureate, Poland's Lech Walesa, was more blunt."Who, Obama? So fast? Too fast -- he hasn't had the time to do anything yet," Walesa told reporters in Warsaw. According to rules of nobel committee the secret person who nominated obama for peace prize can be revealed only after 50 years. So lets wait till 2059 !! One important point, we indians should know that Mahatma gandhi was nominated for NOBEL PEACE PRIZE thrice. But still so called nobel committee is thinking about it...** Was the horizon of the Norwegian Nobel Committee too narrow? Were the committee members unable to appreciate the struggle for freedom among non-European people?" Or were the Norwegian committee members perhaps afraid to make a prize award which might be detrimental to the relationship between their own country and Great Britain? Think !!!! |
