No. I am not sure he could read, we already know about his poor speaking skills.

wikipee:

"It is also unclear why Nobel wished the Peace Prize to be administered in Norway. The Norwegian Nobel Committee speculates that Norway may have been better suited to awarding the prize as it did not have the same militaristic traditions as Sweden and that at the end of the nineteenth century the Norwegian parliament had become closely involved in the Inter-Parliamentary Union's efforts to resolve conflicts through mediation and arbitration."

This explains why I have Albert Einstein's support for the award and you do not. Hah!

Stockholm. That be in Sweden, no?

Of course, I wouldn't want to cast aspersions at Wikipedia!

There are many Nobel prizes, of course - economics, science, etc. - and the overall Nobel Foundation is in Sweden, but the Peace Prize selection committee operates out of Norway.

"All Nobel Prizes are awarded in Stockholm, Sweden, except for the Nobel Peace Prize, which is awarded in Oslo, Norway."

I wouldn't belabor the point except to the extent that I've received an inside tip that the selection committee is impressed with multiple nominations of the same individual or organization. I wouldn't want you mailing your nomination of me to the wrong city.

Yea, from what I have heard Hamid Karzai was Obama's campaign manager to win the nomination for the Peace Prize. Maybe that is why he is waiting so long to send those needed troops to Afghanistan...
