Obama Receives the Peace Prize. Okay then..



So, Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. He was actually nominated before he was presented and it was just recently awarded to him. My first reaction was, "what?". It didn't make any sense. But seeing this video led me to believe it isn't necessarily a bad thing.
If there is one thing that Obama is good at, its his overall demeanor. It is clear to me, and perhaps to others that Obama did not receive this because of something he did, and he knows that. He isn't parading around acting like he changed the world just because he isn't George Bush. He is extremely humble and recognizes his situation.
He seems just as confident as he always is, but clearly he is feeling very humble. Obama says he is going to treat this like "a call to action", which I believe he has begun to show already. He has already made a wonderful speech to human rights activists. Whether anything is going to happen is a completely different story, but it is apparent that B is stepping it up.

Sincerely,
A
