"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.

(Q: He has not achieved nothing in concrete as of yet. What is the reason for giving him the prize and is the nobel committee, is your committee not risking accusation of being a little political by giving this precious award to incumbent US president?)
