So, Obama join Jimmy Carter, Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt. For Alfred Nobel this price was dedicate to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses. Is there a better definition of Obama’s work since he was elected when comparing to Bush? Obama’s Nobel price is a small help to promote humanism in a world needing it badly.

It’s a myth that the prize is awarded to recognize efforts for peace and human rights only after they have proven successful. It is often awarded to help good behaviour. The Norwegian Nobel Committee praised Obama’s pledges to reduce the world’s number of nuclear arms, ease American conflicts with Muslim nations and strengthen the American role in combating climate change. The Committee noted the global optimism created by his calls for peace and cooperation.

This price rewards the dove, fighting daily with world predators. Not only did it put in the spotlight the greatest political turn of the 21e century but it includes a bonus price. It can also be seen as a “down payment” on great expectations. Last Friday, we were all Norwegian.
