Premonition?

Although quite surprised, I agree with the decision of the Nobel Committee to award President Barrack Obama the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009. Although, President Obama has been in office only nine (9) months, his message of a drastic change in U.S. foreign policy using international diplomacy, respecting very nation’s rights and needs, has resonated around the world. Since the purpose of the Nobel Peace Prize is to encourage the actions for world peace, awarding this honor to the President who is starting his work, makes sense to me. Now, Obama has to prove to the world that he deserved the award. I feel that a plan he has to shelve, thanks to this award, is the bombing Iran for their nuclear ambitions. This is something the Israel and the Jewish lobby desperately wants him to do, or support.

I am bothered about the statement by the committeeto the effect that ‘this is the right time to give President Obama this award, as two or three years later it may be too late’. Do they have any premonition of something bad happening to him in the coming years? I wonder.
