« Michelle Obama's ancestry traced directly back to slavery. | Main | Grab a Mop! »

This video interview of Thorbjoern Jagland, a member of the committee that chose Obama to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, explains very clearly their rationale:

It's obvious that they were impressed by Obama's impact on the dialogue between nations and how he has brought about a radical shift in world politics, where dialogue and negotiation are back in vogue. Essentially, this prize is meant to both encourage Obama's vision and as a repudiation of the past 8 years under the Bush administration.

And yet, when he talks about upholding Nobel's will, he mentions the "reduction of troops around the world." And Obama has done that how, exactly?

Watch the entire interview to get a feel of what they were thinking.
