President Obama has recieved a lifetime achievement award for the many accomplishments he's likely to make over a long career in public office. After being awarded the Noble prize for capturing, "the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future," the committee said, "We felt it was time to reward him for the realization of that hope and that better future he's sure to create over his lifetime."

Appearing in the Rose Garden, Mr. Obama said he was ''surprised and deeply humbled" by the committee's decision.  "To be honest," the president said "I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who have been honored by this prize, men and women who've had to live to an old age and who actually accomplished the things they are honored for before getting the award."He said he would accept it as a, "self fulfilling prophecy."
