(FILES) Bono, lead singer U2, speaks at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) September 24, 2008 in New York. Bono on October 18, 2009 praised Barack Obama for helping "re-brand" the United States as a leading force in combating the world's most pressing problems, and deemed the president's controversial Nobel Peace prize deserved. In an article Sunday in The New York Times, the U2 rocker and rights activist praised Obama's dedication to "the eradication of extreme poverty in our time," as well as Obama's commitment to "fighting nuclear proliferation and climate change, improving relations in the Middle East and, by the way, creating jobs and providing health care at home."
