Headline: In Oslo, President Obama is Asked About His “Premature” Nobel Peace Prize.

OSLO, NORWAY — At his press conference in Oslo, Norway, with Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, President Obama was asked by a local reporter about criticism that his pending Nobel Peace Prize is “premature” and how he can use the prize to “make some of your good intentions materialize?”

Don’t you love the phrasing? “Premature.” Like it was a foregone conclusion already, just somebody jumped the gun a little bit. We knew Obama was going to get one – it just happened too soon.

That’s via Memeorandum. More:

In the NY Times: Obama’s Nobel Remarks

Oh, how they wanted to switch the “e” and the “l” in “Nobel” around!

That’s also via Memeorandum. And over at Hot Air, Ed Morrissey takes time out of snickering at the whole thing to give Obama props for “an unexpected moment of humility.”
