Full Text of the Announcement
"The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama's vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.

"Obama has as president created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play. Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts. The vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations. Thanks to Obama's initiative, the USA is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting. Democracy and human rights are to be strengthened.

"Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future. His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population.

"For 108 years, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has sought to stimulate precisely that international policy and those attitudes for which Obama is now the world's leading spokesman. The Committee endorses Obama's appeal that "Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges."

You're first on YouTube with this news.

Congrats.

I think he deserves it. F**k the naysayers.

Obama has made it clear that he is going to choose diplomacy over bullets regarding foreign matters. The peace prize will make him more tenacious in that pursuit. The USA has a real chance to become a moral leader again.

This is corruption and can only bring hate, delusion, fear and aggression into the world. This is a sorry gesture from the international community after humilating Obama in the Olympic bid. This is corruption, this is a very bad sign for the world.

Not bad for a few months work, eh?

On a purely objective level, it's a disgrace. Other men and women have to devote a lifetime of extraordinary effort to achieve this award.

I'm afraid they've made a mockery of themselves.

[salvodistefano]

I'm Italian and I regret to live in a country like mine.

I am very happy and proud of being a fan of Obama...he can really change the world!!

He is part of the new course of world's events...at last a just man has been given a prize for peace and judged in spite of the color of his skin.

Good Luck Mr President...I am with you!

at some point during the iraq war, most troops were pulled from afghanistan. obama put them back in.

[ApocalypsePlough]

He inherited that mess from George Bush. It's like inheriting the Viet Nam War. There isn't a simple solution. What do you want him to do?? Pull every single soldier out?? That would lead to a disaster.

I'm Canadian. You forgot about the Canadian and Dutch soldiers that are dying. 131 Canadian soldiers have died in Afghanistan. Their deaths are not lost on me. I write about them on my channel.

[lalotaty]

Just need to nominate a serial murderer or a GARAVITO to UNICEF's SECRETARY GENERAL

[stonescourt3]

are you serious? we have a presence in afghanistan! while he's waiting to decide whether or not to send in more U.S. troops there, more U.S. and british soldiers, and afghani people, are dying almost daily. how is that peaceful?!!

[OKandNOWwhat]

Read some history. Look up Wiemar Republic, The birth of the Roman Empire, after the French Revolution, the beginning of the Russian revolution, monetary policies in the American colonies.

These are not parallels. They are wholesale repetitions.

This has nothing to do with the Olympics. The Americans aren't taking to the streets because they didn't get the 2016 Olympics. Most don't care. The only difference now is that they won't be watching the Olympics from Rio De Janeiro, instead of not watching them from Chicago.
