Obama Accepts Nobel Peace Prize as 'Call to Action'

AP: A beaming President Barack Obama says he’s honored to win the Nobel Peace Prize, but says he isn’t sure he’s done enough to earn it.

Appearing in the Rose Garden Friday, Obama acknowledged he was “both surprised and deeply humbled” to win the award.



He said he does not “view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments,” but rather as a recognition of goals he has set for the United States and the world. Obama said, “I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many transformative figures that have been honored by this prize.”
