የ2009ኙ የኖቤል የሰላም ሽልማት ለባራክ ኦባማ በመጀመሪያወቹ የስልጣን ቀናት ከተበረከተ በኋላ፣ ማንም ሰው እንደሚረዳው፣ የኖቤል ኮሚቴ የተሾመን ፕሬዝደንት ወዲያወኑ ጥንቁቅ ሆኗል፡፡ ለአብነት ያህል፣ ኦባማ ሊቢያ ውስጥ ሰላም አላመጡም፡፡ ይልቅስ እስካሁን ሊረግቡ ያልቻሉ ችግሮች እንዲፈጠሩ አድርገዋል፡፡
After awarding the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize to Barack Obama in the early days of his administration, one would have thought that the Nobel Committee would be more circumspect about awarding another fledgling sitting president. Obama, for instance, did not keep the peace in Libya; rather, he created a situation of chaos that rages there until now.
