See, I think that the award shoudl be given to those who actually do something. People have been talking about world peace for a LONG time. At this point, Obama is one of many. He needs some accomplishments for the awards to mean anything.

Sorry, I am not an Obama hater. He seems like a well intentioned man. I just don't think he should have been given the award at this moment in his career.

However, he didn't do this within his first few weeks in office, when the nominations were due. The award should be given for what HAS been done, not what MIGHT be done.

I think that is the point.

He won because he was the 10th caller.

There's no such thing as a "Noble Peace Prize Nominee" as the Nobel committee don't officially release the names of other people they considered.

Ruefully amused here. IMHO, it should go to someone that has actually done something and not only talked eloquently about it.

True. I would like world peace and the removal of all stupid chicken-banning laws, but I'm not foreseeing an award for that statement. Saying one thing is completely different from doing it, just ask anyone who has voted.

Give it to Miss America......she really wants World Peace! Really she does!!!

Mohamed ElBaradei, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency and 2005 winner of the Nobel Peace Prize:

"I cannot think of anyone today more deserving of this honour ... President Obama has provided outstanding leadership on moving towards a world free of nuclear weapons."

But he had not DONE this...... that is like saying to some kid at school; here is your degree because you show promise without having done any of the work to obtain this degree.....

Nuclear wepons are still out there, he has not removed any of them yet.
