Peace Prize

I found a post on the Power Line on Friday October 9, 2009 titled A Peace Prize for Hope. This post centered on President Barack Obama and how he just won the Nobel Peace Prize. By reading this post it is very clear that the author was not too happy about our President winning the prize. He states in the post “President Obama has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize after only nine months on the job. It seems a tad premature…” The point of his blog was to enlighten the audiences on why he feels that President Barack Obama does not deserve that it. He makes it clear that it is not the President that he has a problem with but it is the person who picks the winner of the prize. The author feels that the “the Nobel Peace Prize has gone haywire on numerous occasions over many years.”

The author of this blog post is named Scott and that is pretty much all that I know about him from looking at this website. He writes for the Power Line and that is basically it. I read this post because I do feel that what the author provide enough evidence to me to consider this post legitimate.

Scott, the author focuses on several different years and the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize each of those years to help persuade the audience. With these sold fact that he provides it helps the creditability of his argument. He also provides a little background information about the winners to allow readers to judge for themselves if the winner’s action should be acknowledged and rewarded.

In all honestly I was not too happy about President Barack Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize and that was because that I felt that the prize should go to someone else who has already made a solid impact on this world. And I would say that when I first heard about it I was somewhat upset that he even accepted it but now after reading this blog I feel differently. I mean anyone would want to accept the Nobel Peace Prize and the stack of cash that came with it. Now instead of being displease with the President, I am more disgusted with the person who picks the winner of the prize. I mean how did Yasser Arafat win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994?
