The UN Resolution calls for President Bashar al-Assad to hand power to his deputy, reports the UK Talagraph:

It also stresses there will be no foreign military intervention in a conflict   that the United Nations says has killed more than 5,400 people in the past   10 months.

It demands that “the Syrian government immediately puts an end to all human   rights violations and attacks against those exercising their rights to   freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association”.

Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov underscored Moscow’s opposition to the   draft, but he stopped short of an explicit threat to block it with a veto.

“The Western draft Security Council resolution on Syria will not lead to   a search for compromise,” Interfax quoted Gatilov as saying. “Pushing   it is a path to civil war.”

Over the weekend, supporters of President Obama rationalizing why the president did indeed deserve the Nobel Prize, and why his critics on the Right are out just to attack everything positive that happens to Obama.

But to me one thing is weird: almost (if not) EVERYONE on the right, left, and center admitted being surprised when learning of the Nobel Committee’s pick. The reason for the surprise is the president’s lack of accomplishments on the peace front. So, if you Leftist Obama defender was surprised with this pick because privately to yourself you had/have NO CLUE why Obama deserves it, why are you saying the last 72 hours  that Obama did indeed deserve it for reason A, B and C?  If A, B, and C were true, you would have expected the last nine months that Obama will likely get the Nobel, and thus you would have NOT been (so) surprised on Friday morning.

The fact however that you WERE surprised proves to me that your defense of the pick is a result of YOU being the partisan who is out to defend Obama at all costs rather than the Right being off the mark with asking pointedly: why in hell did Obama get this one?
