Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

It will be a difficult choice to pick between Barack Obama and Bill Clinton as I said before. With this prize his voice will carry more weight than ever. He has a chance to change the view how the world looks at the American. Most of Canadians think the Barack will heal the relationship between US and Canada that Bush left behind. I think he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize like Jimmy Carter.
The Nobel Peace Prize is one of the most powerful platforms in the world. Winners get immediate global attention and the chance to meet and influence leaders and governments everywhere. Think of it as a megaphone through which worthy, but very often obscure, activists or politicians or environmentalists can shout their message to a gathered crowd. See From Time magazine

"Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future," Jagland said.
Obama's election and foreign policy moves caused a dramatic improvement in the image of the U.S. around the world. A 25-nation poll of 27,000 people released in July by the Pew Global Attitudes Project found double-digit boosts to the percentage of people viewing the U.S. favorably in countries around the world. That indicator had plunged across the world under President George W. Bush.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa, who won the prize in 1984, said Obama's award shows great things are expected from him in coming years.
