Mixed Reactions

Obama cleared in the press conference that he do not view the award as recognition of his accomplishments but rather as affirmation of his leadership on behalf of his people. Archbishop Desmond Tutu however said that the award is "a magnificent endorsement for the first African-American president in history", Many however believed that the award is given prematurely considering the President is just one year in the office. Most of his initiatives for peace can only be realized later.

Taliban Issue


Taliban condemn the award stating that President Barack Obama hasn't made any move to initiate peace in the Afghan region. However, Afghan President Hamid Karzai called the award "appropriate".
