Thread Name: BS: Obama Awarded Nobel Peace Prize
Subject: RE: BS: Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize
I'm also surprised, since there was no suggestion of such an award in the media.
In some minds it may make up for the International Olympics Committee's decision to resist his efforts to lobby them to hold the 2012 games in Chicago.
Obama still has a lot of potential for achieving improved international relationships, and the Nobel Peace Prize Committee recognizes that potential.
