FWIW, I think that prize was a misguided effort to award this country for electing our first person of color, presented to Obama as the leader of this country. In short, a mistake in thinking that we had overcome a major hurdle in our attitudes about race. Probably due to not understanding a number of things about the USA, not the least of which is we don't really consider the President the leader of this country unless we agree with him. I honestly don't think it was meant to be A Major Award for Obama the man, but rather Obama the symbol. Too confusing for anyone in this country to grasp.
