Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize.
BBC NEWS | Europe | Obama wins 2009 Nobel Peace Prize
But for what? He hasn't even done anything. Gitmo is still open, we're still at war, and there's still the omnipresent threat of nuclear weapons from Korea and Co. Quote:

Yeah that seems to be the general consensus.
"Why? What has he done to merit this already?"

"Very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future," said the Norwegian Nobel Committee in addition to commending "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."
lol thats why I guess. well, its not really his fault they gave it to him.. but I agree, I dont understand WHY regardless, its a great honor

Yeah it is kind of irritating. I mean I like Obama and all but I always thought a nobel peace prize was supposed to represent something epic... and he hasn't really done anything epic. He isn't a war mongerer, Ok. He's trying to reverse some of the things George Bush did but I'm not wow'd by him.
It kinda bothers me how everyone fawns over him. When he does something of merit, sure, recognize it, but in proportion to what he's actually done.

Maybe they should ask the American public if he should earn this.

 (that's meant as a joke) I, too, don't get what he did to win this. Makes no sense at all to me. He's just done a bunch of talk.

I was puzzled by this. I don't think that Obama has done anything to deserve it but I also won't give him grief for winning it. Unless he somehow manipulated the committee, he has no say in who it gets awarded to.
This just means that the Nobel Price for Peace is meaningless, I suppose.
