Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize this morning, Friday Oct. 9.

Here are some links about it.

I have to say that I’m a little surprised by this decision.

Granted, Obama has done good work, and has massively changed the American mindset since the Bush administration.  However, for all his work against nuclear proliferation, for all the good he’s done for how people feel, there are still massive changes that need to be made.

The international reaction seems mixed:

Supposedly, President Obama was going to make a statement about his Nobel Prize win at 10:30 this morning.  I couldn’t find video of it on CNN or NBC, but I’ll keep looking, and post a link as it becomes available.
