Another dent in the shine of the Nobels!! - B RESPONSE: An excerpt of his acceptance speech in which he alluded, that he got the award, to prod him into action in the near future ''The US President said that he was really humbled by the choice made by the Nobel Peace Prize Committee in choosing him as the 2009 recipient. He said that he was deeply humbled and surprised at the same time. He said that it was not an individual prize but an affirmation of the American leadership, and not recognition of his accomplishments as he still had a lot to do and accomplish. He was fair in saying that he personally thought that he did not deserve the award , because there were others who were more deserving than him. He says that he now has a greater responsibility to use energy and that we should live in a world where there are no differences on caste, creed or religion in seeing one another, that there must be a new beginnings in religions and with mutual interest and respect we must resolve the conflicts. He said that the world had suffered enough of pain and hardship and that we must have an unwavering commitment to reduce it. He spoke passionately about the Palestine hardships.''

Let us be magnanimous, give the man a chance. The men of yesteryear have blood on their hands; over here in the U.K. the ex P.M. was soundly berated by the Archbishop and a man whose son was killed in the on going wars. -- DEV BOREM KORUM.

I also think such awards are also influenced a lot by all the media hype that emerges and makes up our mind for us. When the media turns hostile to an Obama (as it happens with many politicians in due course) then all this would be conveniently forgotten. To be fair to the Nobel industry, I think a Gandhi would have definitely got a Nobel in his time if only he had a bigger media machine hyping him (not just the Birlas, later of Hindustan Times fame, and a handful of others in his time). FN PS: Compared to a Bush, an Obama has made some interesting statements and gestures. But there is a lot more action is needed obviously, not just pious words and good sentiments. 2009/10/10 Carvalho elisabeth_...@yahoo.com: There is something seriously wrong with this Nobel Peace committee to award barack obama, the Nobel peace prize even before he could say Camp David or even smell the coffee at a serious peace accord conference.

* G * O * A * N * E * T C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * Planning to get married in Goa? www.weddingsetcgoa.com Making your 'dream wedding' possible Gabe, I am with the camp that wonders what Obama did to deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. Last years winner was a more popular one among Tanzanian Goans as he did entertain us, and vice-versa, when he was the Finnish Ambassador to Tanzania. One person on the Tanzanite Goan site also mentioned that the Ambassador was present at his engagement reception. Returning to Obama, I think one of the reasons he won is because he is the most European of US Presidents. Obama wants to introduce European style medical care, paid annual leave and other social security benefits to the US. The other reason he won is probably because he invited waring fractions to the White House for a beer. If that ploy worked with hard core American antagonists then there is the very real possibility that hard core Jewish and Muslim residents of Israel could come to some type of agreement over a couple of beers too. Anyone capable of bring peace to that region does deserve recognition. It does not mater, to me, if the recognition is before or after peace is achieved. Now the reason for this post. I think Obama should have won the Nobel prize for economics. Anyone who could stop the rot George Bush (43) set into the US economy really deserves that economic prize. Obama has put a stop to the downward economic spiral the US was in. Turning that economy around i.e. turning the budget deficits from the position it is into a positive one really requires the strength of a dozen of the Greek Gods. Mervyn1650Lobo PS. the talk in the US today, is that the constitution should be amended so that Obama could be nominated 'President for life.' He is proven to be a national treasure. __ Make your browsing faster, safer, and easier with the new Internet Explorer® 8. Optimized for Yahoo!
