Only very rarely

Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future.

(Nobel Committee about their choice of Peace Prize award winner)

The critics say Obama hasn't done all that much yet, to be rewarded with a Nobel Peace Prize. Might be true. Sometimes, though, I believe intention is what counts. I am in full awe about this man and his ways of operating. The time was right for Obama, and never ever has the world been so globally affected by a presidential election. It was to be seen in his eyes, heard in his words; Finally a world leader with good intentions. Finally a man who not only wants to, but actually is giving hope. A man whose work shows an interest in the greater good.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Barack Obama
