He was right to stress the fact that he really does not deserve it. The award seems like it's been given based on his aspirations rather than his accomplishments. If anything, he'd be most practically served by it by using it as a launching pad to lay out his plans on Israel/Palestine which he has been hesitant to do and to more definitively call for an end to settlement building in the West Bank. Then again with the Copenhagen summit on climate change looming and health care, it's unclear whether he'd be able to feasible accomplish anything with it.

heh. if you pause is at 1:54 he makes a funny face. = ]

An American President who's gone almost a year without starting another war. That's quite an achievement, no wonder he received this prize.

On another note.. worthy of consideration:

Let's consider this for a moment.

Essentially, Obama has won the prize because he is not George W. Bush.

Obviously, the gravity of that conclusion is lost on all of the republican conservatives on every talk show in our nation.

Imagine how bad a former president has to be that, upon leaving office, his successor is nominated for the Nobel Peace prize.

UM WTF ??? LOL !!! IS THIS FOR REAL ? SO STUPID he has not done annything , what a joke , infact his policies are pretty much as shit as Clintons. This accentually makes the noble piece prize a joke.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Gee, I guess the rest of the world hasn't rebuked Obama after all- as Rush et al. were saying after the Olympics bid failure.
