President Barack Obama said Friday he was surprised and humbled to win the Nobel Peace Prize and would accept it as a "call to action" to work with other nations to solve the problems of the 21st century.

Nobel officials said their stunning pick was meant to build momentum behind Obama's initiatives to reduce nuclear arms, ease tensions with the Muslim world and stress diplomacy and cooperation rather than unilateralism.

The president will donate the entire $1.4 million prize to charity, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said, but hasn't decided yet which organizations will share the windfall.

  • oh go ahead and give it to acorn, you know you want to. Or, how about Bill Ayers to make up for him not getting part of the royalties to that book he wrote for you, you know, the fiction about your "father". That would be a nice, metrosexual kind of thing to do.
