Honored for peace in a time of war, President Barack Obama is formally becoming a Nobel laureate on Thursday under such odd circumstances that even he will make a point of it.
In a ceremony in Oslo, the president will receive his Nobel Peace Prize medal and diploma for his work to reshape the way the United States deals with the world. Yet he does so under the long shadow of the war in Afghanistan, where he is ordering 30,000 more troops into battle.
Obama's Nobel speech - a tradition that goes to the winner and is billed as a lecture for the world - will explore his thinking about war, security and the pursuit of peace. He is likely to spell out the role of American leadership and the responsibilities of all nations.
There will be plenty of splashy ceremony in Obama's honor, too.
His first stop was the Norwegian Nobel Institute, where the Nobel committee meets to decide who wins the prestigious prize. All committee members will be there to greet their latest recipient as he signs the Nobel guest book. He also will meet with Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg
