I'm hopeful that this prize provides a needed boost to his efforts. Obama has made great progress in restoring America's role in the world. He has the opportunity to make great progress on world peace and this prize is a strong vote of confidence in those efforts.
Well done! I'll be curious to see where he donates the money, though he's not a wealthy man financially, he might want to keep some of it.
- miked 17y agothough he's not a wealthy man financially Both his books have sold millions of copies. The Clintons are now worth well over $100 million, just from giving speeches. Al Gore left office worth about $2 million and is now worth over $100 million from a combination of his global warming book, movie, and speeches and various board directorships, including at Apple and at Kosla's VC fund. Obama will scrape by somehow.
