ATLANTA (AP) — Former President Jimmy Carter said Thursday that President Barack Obama deserves his Nobel Peace Prize based on his achievements and the promise of an aggressive agenda that he’s still working to fulfill.”Obama deserves it as much as anyone who’s ever gotten it for his achievement already,” Carter, who won the prize in 2002, said. “He’s transformed the image of America around the world, he’s stopped the practice of torture, he’s called for and taken leadership in doing away with nuclear weapons.”–Contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
