Barack Obama "humbled" by Nobel Peace Prize, says it "reminds me that I am still a lowly, earthbound mortal"
From the AP:
Awoken by press secretary Robert Gibbs about an hour after the vote was announced, the White House says the president responded that he was humbled to be only the third sitting U.S. president to win.
Humbled, eh? Yeah, I guess it is kind of an overcelebrated, politicized thing of questionable values. (As it turns out, not unlike the latest honoree himself.)
Allahpundit is all over this.
