A premature Nobel win for President Obama?

As much as I would like to think President Obama deserved the Novel Peace Prize. I can’t help but wonder if he was given it prematurely. What with the war in Afghanistan, Palestine, and so many other unresolved issues around the world. He still has so much to prove as said in his famous speech `change’ is the way forward.

Perhaps it would have been wiser to have given it to one of the other six worthy nominees. Dr Denis Mukwege dedicated to helping rape victims of Congo. Saima Samar working for Afghan families. Greg Mortensen a humanitarian, Piedad Cordoba, Wei Jingsheng and Ghazi bin Muhammad. After all, they're risking their lives, helping people and delivering promises all without political motives and millions of pounds in the bank.
