Obama Receives Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo

President Obama receives the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo. In his own words, this is a "call to action" rather than recognition of his own accomplishments. Greenpeace is calling on him to act on his promises to confront the global challenges of the 21st century, including the greatest one in history - climate change. Greenpeace activists urge him to show strong leadership when he attends the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen the following week.
