why did obama receive the nobel peace prize?

https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/2009/press-release/

They don't talk about anything he's specifically done. I can't find anything that he's done online so here I am asking anyone who's reading, "How did obama 'strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples'? "

For the same reason he was elected, because he's black.

@katielass see now I actually knew the answer.. but he's actually more white than he is black, genetically speaking.

@PeculiarPea because genetics don't matter unless you're trying to open a casino

@PeculiarPea my point is if someone is half white half black they are half white and half black. not just black.

@PeculiarPea That's why they could justify slavery, because they weren't using science. It sounds like you're anywhere between 25-75% native american or white.

@PeculiarPea what you feel about the dna that you inherit from your parents does not change the dna that you inherit from your parents.
