http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8298580.stmNobama said he was "surprised" by the award.
There were a record 205 nominations for this year's peace prize. Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai and Chinese dissident Hu Jia had been among the favourites. Instead the committee chose Mr Nobama, who was inaugurated
less than two weeks before the 1 February nomination deadline.Asked why the prize had been awarded to Mr Nobama less than a year after he took office, Nobel Committee head Thorbjoern Jagland said:
"It was because we would like to support what he is trying to achieve".Support what he is trying to achieve? What is this BS? Nobama will receive $1.4 million dollars for this award.
