[0:47]" Well in Norwegian. Nobel committee put out a statement saying that they're awarding mr. President Obama. For efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people they say he's. He's created a new climate in international politics well that may be true but he has not accomplished anything yet his Middle East envoy George Mitchell is in Jerusalem right now trying to work out an agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians so the only thing you can say is maybe this is. Meant as an inspiration. To get moving on the Middle East. "

[1:28]" I think it's -- certainly give him an added strain. In negotiating with the Russians and negotiating with certainly anyone around the world in terms of peace this is really something that's only happened twice before a president in office winning the Nobel Peace -- only Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. And Woodrow Wilson in 1919. Former president Jimmy Carter won -- 2002 but that was twenty years after he left office so this is a very rare thing and I think President Obama will be trying to use this to trigger -- new peace initiatives around the world and certainly he has. His goals set out -- is one big target he's been trying to get them to talk peace now -- we can do it."

[2:12]" Howard it is interesting to look back on when he was candidate Obama remember the trip to Europe when he was highly criticized in this -- country for that but he did put his toe in the water we can say back as a candidate for president before even won the election."

[2:27]" Yes it did and one of the first things he did as president was to travel to Cairo where he spoke about the need to have better relations between the Islamic world demand in the United States. He has a certain vision and he's been trying to lay out that vision and that seems to be what the Nobel prize committee. Has awarded them in the peace prize for."
