CFR experts on Europe

	Expert Interview on the President's Nobel Prize
	Senior Fellow for U.S. Foreign Policy Walter Russell Mead says the Nobel committee's awarding of the 2009 peace prize to President Barack Obama amounts to "tremendous recognition from the international community." But Mead also cautions the award could create a backlash and even political problems for Obama abroad due to exaggerated or unreal expectations about his policies. Listen to the podcast.
