I heard someone on the radio say that the award had been decided back in January, but that is incorrect according to the Nobel website.
The nomination might have been made that long ago, when to have Obama simply stand on the podium in front of the Presidential Seal might have seemed reason enough.
Now it seems too much like tempting fate
Further worrying evidence of the troubled attitudes to race in America have emerged with the almost prurient interest in the idea that Mrs Obama may have one (only 1?) white forebear who might have forced himself upon an under age slave girl
