(2009-10-09) Obama Peace Price

Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, for, uh... the change in global mood wrought by Obama's calls for peace and cooperation but recognized initiatives that have yet to bear fruit: reducing the world stock of nuclear arms, easing American conflicts with Muslim nations and strengthening the U.S. role in combating climate change. Oh, it's the potential peace prize. Nobel observers were shocked by the unexpected choice so early in the Obama presidency, which began less than two weeks before the Feb. 1 nomination deadline. The Peace prize committee has become as ridiculous as a UN committee.
