<h3>Many Americans are Wondering Why</h3>
U.S. President Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace prize, gaining him praise and scrutiny from all around the world. The first year leader of the United States has been awarded more for vision than achievement so far in his term, which is drawing the eyes of the world. Media coverage has been highly split on whether or not President Obama has achieved the necessary peace goals to deserve such a high honor. His plans for the future do involve pulling out of Iraq, but many of the policies that Bush started are still in effect. Many people are still wondering why he won, and whether or not the pre-empive prize will be worth it.
Polls have shown that many Americans don’t think that Obama deserves the award, but the defense has been given that his visions have inspired audiences worldwide. The question remains, is that enough to deserve the prestigious award, or was it given entirely too prematurely? Despite the mixed feelings on whether or not his vision of kindness and peace will be realized, Obama now has an obligation to enact his policies and show people that the award was well deserved. Regardless of whether or not he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize at the moment is hardly as important as how the remainder of his term will shape the world. Many see the award as an endorsement more than a recognition of achievement, and this may be the case. However, those who are truly dedicated to kindness and a better society overall will be keeping a close watch on President Obama and how he plans to earn his award.
