Obama wins Nobel Prize

Barack Obama, the winner of 2009 Nobel Peace Prize

Although he became president at the wrong time or I should say messy time (with all those health care issue, global economy downturn, financial crisis...and many many more), Barack Obama won presitigious Nobel Peace Prize "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples" according to Nobel Peace Prize website. The sweet thing is Obama said he would donate money from Nobel Prize to charity. According to what I have read, people are still wondering whether giving out the most presitigious prize to Mr.Obama is a good thing (to respect and show his contributions towards international diplomacy during 2008 before he became president of USA) or a bad thing (giving him such prize in a very short period as he hasn't really started working as REAL fighter(i should say fighter for peace), put him in limelight and set impossible goals for him to achieve).
Whatever it goes, I would congradulate Mr.Obama for his achievement, who is now the same league as Daw Aung San Suu Kyi (whom I am always proud of as a Burmese), the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize winner
"for her non-violent struggle for democracy and human rights". I took a pic with her when I was in Oslo,not her but her pic at Nobel Peace Museum at Oslo,Norway. And I seriously hope she could go and collect Nobel Peace Prize by herself. I hope because we all live with hopes.
