Date:Oct 9/09

Summary
This news is about the Nobel peace prize that Obama won last year. This award had different reactions around the world. But, he said that his award is a reason to work constantly to face the current issues in this society. Also, it presents different opinions about this award.
Issues
*It was absurd to give a peace award to a man who had sent 21,000 extra troops to Afghanistan.
*Obama is considering a request for at least 40,000 more troops from his top commander
*"We hope this can contribute a little bit enhance what he is trying to do"
*This award was premature
Opinion
In my opinion Obama shouldn't win this prize because he didn't do anything to win. The prize was more a popularity context than a real Nobel Prize. A person who is nominated to win this award should have a real contribution to make peace.
