President Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize

In a move that seems more optimistic about what may be accomplish in the future rather than what's been accomplished, President Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize today. You can read more about the prize here and here.

How the President will cope with this premature award is yet to be seen but the current headlines (as of 11AM) quote him as seeing the award as a "call to action." You can read more here.

Hope was part of Obama's platform and helped get him elected. He's struggled to maintain focus and get results but I think this award shows that many in the international community are behind him.

I hope that he can get past the backlash and noise that's sure to follow and accomplish many of the ideas encapsulated in the Peace Prize.
