Video transcript

Talking about the Obama Nobel win in Ghana.

Interviewer: Actually, do you know what I want to know?

Man from Ghana: No.

Interviewer: What do you think about the President Obama's Nobel Prize win?

Man from Ghana: (smiles, and laughs a little). Actually, I've not heard the news for some time. Has he got it?

Interviewer: Yes, Obama's been given the Nobel Prize.

Flossy from Ghana: (looks suprised/puzzled) Really? So soon?

Interviewer: Peace Prize. The Nobel Peace Prize?


Flossy: Peace Prize?

Interviwer: Yes.

Flossy: In Norway?

Man from Ghana: What did he do? To deserve the Peace Prize?

Interviewer: You think it's too soon?

Man from Ghana: (he smiles) Yeah. It's too soon. He hasn't done much. Even though has been erm, erm...he hasn't done much.

(video pans back to Flossy still with a puzzled look on her face.


Flossy: He hasn't done much. It's too early, I....

Man from Ghana: It should be able to be given. But now, now.. (laughs). But that's nice. It's a good news. I'm happy for him.

Flossy: As for Obama, his character and his personality, people like it, so maybe (laughs heh hehh heh)...they are giving it to him on a personal basis. (smiles laughingly). They could have waited for a while.

Interviewer to "Kibnesh" from Ethiopia: What do you think about Obama's Nobel Peace Prize win?

Kibnesh: I'm surprised.

Interviwer: Surprised?

Kibnesh: Yeah. I'm surpised - I'm speechless, actually. He's a great man, and everything, but we just have to wait and see what he's going to do for the world. I don't know at this moment. (smiles).

just so you know - the interviews with couple of Ghana people are not the representative for entire Ghana country.
 
Not to mention their opinions don't hold any more or less ground than the people on this forum. Some people think it's too soon, others think his nomination had nothing to do with his election.
 
Yeah, but it sure as heck funny when they laughed at the ridiculousness of Obama winning the Nobel Prize.
 
cool. whatever floats your boat! :wave:
 
I would imiagine one could find 2 people in all countries that would say it is too soon. That is noit reflective of the opinion of the country as a whole, however.

If it rocks your boat, I am happy for u. I think the whole thing is being overanalyzed somewhat. There will always be people who will be for it and people who will oppose to it. Neither sides have any bearings to who is right or wrong.

I would even congratulate Palin if she receives one.

I'd congrate her though I'd wonder why. But then I'm not privy to the process that the Nobel Prize committee goes thru.
