Obama's Nobel Prize
Usually I like Mr. Obama, but this Nobel Peace Prize this is tickling the wrong part of my brain. This used to be a lifetime achievement award, given in appreciation of someone's lifetime struggle for bringing piece to the world of men. Well, Mother Teresa, Dalai Lama deserved it. Mahatma Gandhi more than deserved, but never got it!
What did Obama achieve (apart from winning the election and goint to some diplomatic tours and lectures in several countries)?
Obama said in his statement, "I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many transformative figures that have been honored by this prize". Well, you are correct, Mr. President!
Its like pouring oil in an over-lubricated machine. Pleasing the bigboss is an old routine. It just hurts to see the Nobel Award getting cheapened in the process. Those of you who have gone through Churchill's literary works, do you think he really deserved the 1953 Nobel Prize for Literature? """for his mastery of historical and biographical description as well as for brilliant oratory in defending exalted human values"""
Oh! How charming! Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, son of Lord Randolph Churchill, this Nobel will be another jewel in your overcrowded crown, Prime Minister, sir! But, even Sir Churchill had more right to his Nobel that Obama. At least Churchill wrote his 6 volumes History of World War II and 4 Vol. History of English speaking Peoples; And he had a significant role to play in WWII.
And Obama has just begun to warm-up, he has'nt even started to run!
