It's a giant surprise for everybody, even for the President himself, as this winning isn't an expectation at all considering that his name wasn't even mentioned in the list of nominees. Accordingly, it is because of "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples," as expressed by the the Norwegian Nobel Committee. Obama winning this accolade made him the third sitting U.S. president after President Theodore Roosevelt won the award in 1906 and President Woodrow Wilson won in 1919. Cool. But there'll be a whole lot of expectations attached to this piece of award in the current national and global issues.
I was caught off guard with this breaking news you see. I wanted to know the reactions from the winner himself and from his detractors, but I guess I will have to wait later today. It's too early to hear reactions because it has only been moments since this news broke. Let's wait and see!
What's your reaction by the way? Do you think President Obama deserved the Nobel Peace Prize? News can be read here!
