Watch Obama’s Nobel Prize speech online 7 am ET

December 9, 2009

You can watch President Obama receive the Nobel Peace Prize Thursday, 7:00-8:30 am ET — click here.

The Nobel Peace Prize Award Ceremony takes place in the Oslo City Hall, Norway, on 10 December every year – the anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s death.

See also Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize in part because “the USA is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting.” Looks like he’ll be going to Copenhagen after all!

Please remember that he was awarded this for his efforts at nuclear disarmament:

Nobel Committee Member: Nuclear Disarmament Efforts Won Obama the Prize

Agot Valle, a Norwegian politician and member of the five-person Nobel committee that chose this year’s winner, said the choice of President Barack Obama was primarily related his stance on nuclear disarmament.

“There is a criticism about the war in Afghanistan, and I understand that,” said Valle in a telephone interview. “But this was primarily an award on his work on and commitment to nuclear disarmament – and his dialogue. Of course there will be criticism, because he hasn’t achieved his goals yet. It will take time, but this is a support.”
