For what ?

OSLO – President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday in a stunning decision designed to encourage his initiatives to reduce nuclear arms, ease tensions with the Muslim world and stress diplomacy and cooperation rather than unilateralism.

Way to go Barack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I voted for the guy, but this seems a bit premature. He's barely into the 9th month of a 48 month presidency! Talk about jumping the gun!

For What is right, what has he really done. Maybe after 2 years of his term if things in the world change but after 9 months, come on.

What a joke...

That's insane. And reading why it was givenI'm that much more frustrated about it..."In annoucing the award Friday, the Nobel committee said it had attached special importance to the president's vision of and work for "a world without nuclear weapons."

What work? If it's not the work, then it must be the "vision". I can't remember the last time I got a prize for wanting something.

I disagree with him strongly on many things, and would be completely for him getting this prize AFTER he's put in substantial work for it.

Giving Barack Obama the Nobel Peace Prize is a joke,just cynical bandwagon jumping by the Nobel committee.
But considering they give the war criminal Kissinger one it's not that surprising.

I hope he actually does something to deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.

A few things another Nobel Prize Winner once said:

"To accomplish great things, we must not only act but also dream, not only plan but also believe."

"Nine tenths of education is encouragement."
