President Obama's Nobe Peacel Prize

This is a Blog written by political writer, David Paul Kuhn and posted on "Real Clear Politics "on October the 10th, 2009. Mr Kuhn stated that President Obama has done nothing to deserve the prize, making it all a farce; however, I believe he is missing the point as to why he has earned such an honor. The Nobel committee awarded President Obama with the Nobel Peace Prize "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples,” and his “vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.” Quoted from the New York Times


The Nobel Peace Prize may be awarded to persons or organizations that are in the process of resolving a conflict or creating peace. Mr Kuhn , states that the Nobel Committee has done wrong by choosing President Obama for the Nobel Peace Prize. Obviously, the Nobel Committee is supporting Obama's worldview of bringing peace and ending war. As Americans, we ought to be pleased that our president was recognized by something of this order. This is a recognition which may allow other governments to react in a positive way to Obama's call for them to assume their accountabilities. The award emphasizes how much the International community wants and needs American leadership, and that is something all Americans should appreciate.


President Barack Obama was not only surprised, but deeply humbled for the nomination; and as for the 1.4 millions dollars which, is presented along with the prize, he is donating it all to charity. Our country is going through rough and critical times . Other nations are having to deal and struggle with wars, natural disasters, hunger, pollution, and worldwide economy. These are issues that should be addressed with the cooperation of the world as a whole.




On a personal note, I don't agree with Mr. David Paul Kuhn, and I know that President Obama deserves the award which is based on his accomplishments and the aggressive agenda that he is still working to fulfill.
