Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize.....

This piece of news for me was like hearing about heavy rain and flood in Sahara desert. I was numb with shock for a very long time. Not because I think he does not deserve it but because the peace prize came bit more earlier than I thought it should have come. President Barrack Obama is one of my favorite icons. In spite of which I refuse to give him the benefit of doubt. 

My theory is very simple, which probably has been tried and tested for centuries and it goes something like this, you perform and then your efforts/performance gets appreciated in the form of cash, kind or Nobel Peace Prize! Where on earth does one get  awarded first with a Nobel Peace Prize for his/her future contributions to this wonderful planet called earth?

I always knew that someday he will get awarded for his efforts in encouraging green on this planet, peace keeping efforts and so on. But never, I repeat, never in my best of dreams did I dream of President Obama winning a Nobel Peace Prize for things he so far has not achieved.

My intention is not to pin him down against the wall for this because even he was awe struck when he heard about the Nobel Peace Prize. I am just wondering as to what was the Nobel Peace Prize Committee thinking when they shorted their list down to President Obama and that too unanimously. I know it is important to acknowledge the good work President Obama is doing. But for Pete's sake he is  the President of the world's most powerful country (I hope it still is the most powerful country in the world). With or without Nobel Peace Prize he will do just fine. The committee should have probably recognized someone in real need of it. Hah! come to think of it the USA is in recession and I am sure President Obama needs money equally bad and maybe that is why the committee chose him. Hey! If they can give him the prize they might as well have done it to help him financially. Who knows anything can happen in this crazy world.

I am sure there are enough people out there like me who are wondering why the award was given to our great president. But what ever theory they come up with it will not help because the award has been given and Obama according to me has been graceful enough to admit that even he does not think he deserves it. For that I give him a ten on ten. And I am happy that all that's well ended well. 

All we can do right now is hope and pray that  our beloved president respects the award by continuing his green and other good efforts and proves to the expectations of millions of Americans who elected him as the head of the state they love and respect. All arguments apart at the end of the day with all my heart I pray that; 

"God bless President Obama and God Bless America!"
