President Obama will be skipping out on such traditions as a dinner with the Nobel committee, a concert in the Nobel Laureate's honor, a press conference, and lunch with the king.
According to a poll cited by the AFP, 44 percent of Norwegians considered it "impolite" to skip the lunch, while 53 percent said it was "impolite" to not attend the concert.
Obama was smart to skip lunch with the King Harald V because he would have had to bow to the king like he did in Japan and the right would have had another field day.
