Is it time to be sure that Obama is truly 'noble' to deserve a Nobel?

US President Obama came into the public eye very recently. His PR campaigners have to be commended for his fast rise and popularity. It’s not that I don’t like the man. Maybe, his heart is in the right place. But obviously, it’s too early to tell. He (and/or his PR firm) has said that it is the time for change. Even I could say that, but I don’t see any chances of the Nobel lying on my mantelpiece. If he had actually brought about some change, he could be considered a worthy recipient of the award.
Usually, the nominees are people who have devoted their entire lives to the cause of peace. It is hard to digest that the prize has brought novice Obama technically into the same league as an Aung San Suu Kyi, who lived in exile, separated from her family and not even seeing her husband before his death to bring about democracy in Myanmar.
Does “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between peoples” mean a message of hope and optimism? It shows our tragic times that the world is so hard put for hope and peace that mere “efforts” have to be showcased as the actual thing.
It’s too early to tell what Mr Obama is likely to do for world peace. I hope that the prize does not mean the culmination of the “efforts”. Results are too hard to expect, but continued and dedicated efforts would be highly appreciated.
