Obama accepts Nobel Prize while defending war strategy


President Obama accepted the Nobel Peace Prize today in Oslo. During his acceptance speech he acknowledged skepticism because of the youth of his presidency and admitted his accomplishments were dwarfed by previous winners such as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King. He also used the world stage to defend sending 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan and admonish dictatorial regimes in Iran and North Korea.
