Barack Obama Collects Nobel Prize

This year's Nobel peace Prize laureate, Barack Obama with the insignia of the Nobel Peace Prize, the medal and the diploma, in the Oslo City Hall, Norway, 10 December 2009.

The statement that i like more in Obama's Nobel Peace Prize speech:

'a just peace includes not only civil and political rights — it must encompass economic security and opportunity. For true peace is not just freedom from fear, but freedom from want.


I make this statement mindful of what Martin Luther King said in this same ceremony years ago: "Violence never brings permanent peace. It solves no social problem: It merely creates new and more complicated ones." As someone who stands here as a direct consequence of Dr. King's life's work, I am living testimony to the moral force of non-violence. I know there is nothing weak, nothing passive, nothing naive in the creed and lives of Gandhi and King.' --B.Obama
