Obama: I'm 'Surprised and Deeply Humbled' by Nobel

President will accept the honor as a 'call to action'

Posted Oct 9, 09 10:42 AM CDT|

(AP) – A beaming President Obama says he's honored to win the Nobel Peace Prize but isn't sure he's done enough to earn it. Appearing in the Rose Garden today, Obama acknowledged he was "both surprised and deeply humbled" to win the award. He said he does not "view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments," but rather as a recognition of goals he has set for the US and the world. The White House said later he will donate the $1.4 million that comes along with the prize to charity.

"I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many transformative figures that have been honored by this prize," said Obama, adding that he will accept it as a "call to action." He noted that it "was not how I expected to wake up this morning." After he learned the news, daughter Malia entered the room to declare: "Daddy, you won the Nobel Peace Prize—and it is (first dog) Bo's birthday." It's nice, said Obama, "to have kids to keep things in perspective."

this has got to be some kind global practical joke. I am not saying he won't deserve this prize in the future like when he's 75 and still working these "pressing issues" he just might be the kind of guy that deserves such awards. But give me a break this just smells of Obama worship at whatever cost. If I were Obama I would do the right thing and not accept it, sure it would be a slap in the face of the Noble prize awarders but maybe they need a slap. What a joke, I now take back 75% of any respect I once gave to former Noble prize winners. Reply

Mr. Obama had no control over this, but he didn't deserve it. Gitmo isn't close and was never going to be, at least not within a year. The other prison no one talks about, Bagram, is still open. He has now officially continued the Bush spy programs also. Additionally, did they forget that we're fighting the two biggest WARS in the world right now?? Going by this logic, any G8 head of state would win every year. It's a nice gesture to a President who is genuinely trying to achieve peace in many parts of the world, but it's not deserved yet.

I think this a clever move by the Nobel committee. To give Obama the Peace Prize will change both he he sees himself and how others see him in a way that should encourage him to be a leader for peace. The US president is still the most powerful man in the world and this prize may be more about influencing that power than about acknowledging how Obama has use it so far. Reply

One mans "hater's" is another man's patriot. Typcial liberal bullshit in denying truth and facts. Look at the timelines our liberal socialist Newser friends, they speak for themselves. (January 20th-Feb. 1st) .He has done nothing but read pretty well from the teleprompter after a Presient that could not put two words together. Maybe AFTER he has done something tangible like ending the Cold War, tearing down the Berlin Wall or dismantling thousands of American and Soviet nuclear warheads, THEN and maybe THEN can the rest of America and the world take the Messiah seriously. Oh wait, we HAD a President do all things...and he was a REPUBLICAN who received no such recognition from left wing Euro Trash members of the Norwegian Parliment who were the Nobel Judges awarding this to a kindered soul with no accomplishments other than being a wolrd class socialist democrat who is charming and black.

As others have said in different ways, I think a lot of it does have to do with hope. Many see him as having the ability to bring about the change he talks about. The change of bringing us out of the darkness that is religion+government and the upholding of science and reason. And this is why he is so divisive. A very large group of people believe religion should be in our government, and what many of us see as an enlightenment, they see as moral corruption and evil. That's about as different as perspectives can get. We see the ushering in of logic, you see the ushering in of evil. Reply

It was mid-Friday evening here when I heard President Obama had won the prize. I was very tired and, while a little perplexed, deliberately reserved my judgement until a good night's sleep. I'm still perplexed. I like President Obama quite a bit, but can't help thinking he Nobel committee has just given the man an award because he has a good attitude. It's great that he has this attitude an' all, but isn't the prize supposed to be about deeds already accomplished? Either I'm wrong on that or the Nobel people have re-defined the terms of their gift-giving. In my opinion, it's too soon. Reply

I think what is missed by most is the fact that he is so much after peace, and the offering of it, rather than the "if you're not with us, you're against us" threatening stance. We are supposed to be a nation of peace, not a war machine. Sadly, as of late, particularly because of Al-Pussy, that has been the case. I think his vision is a great one, and he HAS in fact reached out to billions of people. Ya gotta give him credit for trying, and THAT is why he won it. He tries, others must duplicate or exceed that dream. Reply
