The last few days in the news cycle, the news has been dominated by President Obama’s receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize. According to news reports his name had been secretly submitted, by someone undisclosed just ten days after he entered office as President of the United States.
The question everyone is asking is what has he done or accomplished which makes him eligible to receive this prestigious award accompanied by one million dollars? Apparently there are five catagories of awards each year, the Peace prize being one of them, left in the will of Nobel, who discovered dynamite. The committee meets in secret to decide who the recipients will be.
