President Barack Obama // Nobel Peace Prize Press Conference in Norway

Nobel Peace Prize laureate, US President Barack Obama (C) poses with his diploma and medal during the Nobel Peace prize award ceremony at the City Hall in Oslo on December 10, 2009. The president faces a tricky task of reconciling the revered honor with his decision just last week to send 30,000 troops to escalate the war in Afghanistan, a move which tripled the US force there since he took office.
