Was Obama's Nobel Prize racially motivated?

In the absence of any notable achievements at the time of his nomination, Democrats and the liberal media must ask the question; Did race have anything to do with President Obama being chosen for the Nobel Peace Prize? Since most disagreements with the Obama administration have been countered with accusations of racism from the left, I think it's a fair question to ask. Of course it's impossible to know the answer. Just as it's impossible for liberals to know a conservative's true motivation when being critical of Obama. But it's the game that liberals play. I'm just going with it. So, can you think of any white person, living or dead, that could have won such an honor under the same circumstances? That is, holding the office of the presidency for only 11 days and having done nothing much beyond rescinding a few executive orders.

If you find it difficult to think of somebody, you might consider that at least a point in Obama's favor may have been the fact that he is the first black American President. And if that fact was weighted into the decision of the Nobel Prize committee, it could be argued that the decision was somewhat racially motivated. Affirmative action, if you will. As is so often the case with affirmative action, the best man for the position may not have been selected.
