In a statement, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) congratulated President Obama on his Nobel Peace Prize:
I congratulate President Obama on receiving this prestigious award. I join my fellow Americans in expressing pride in our President on this occasion.
And in an interview to air on CNN on Sunday, McCain said, “I think part of their decision-making was expectations. And I’m sure the president understands that he now has even more to live up to. But as Americans, we’re proud when our president receives an award of that prestigious category.”
