What did Obama do in the first two weeks of his administration to earn a Nobel Peace Prize nomination?

Are We Safer Now?
Are we any safer from terrorism now than we were two years ago? The answer is both yes and no.
We are safer because we wiped out Al Queda sympathizers in Afghanistan. We’re safer now because we’re attacking terrorists in Iraq. That’s the good news.
