"I was quite surprised I have to say. The efforts Barack Obama has made for peace do not currently correspond to a peace prize,"
Unlike the peaceful efforts made by Yassar Arafat when he won.

Satire is rapidly replacing reality in all aspects of life.
More troops to Afghanistan, more troops to Iraq, Guantanamo still open, rendition and torture still in place.
Bailing out the chosen financial elite with hundreds of billions of taxpayer's money while 31 million Americans are on food stamps.
Change you can believe in. Sure, right.

This can not be true!!! This man has not accomplished a damn thing up to now, despite his humble gift of the gab. My respect for the Nobel committee just sank several notches. I don't the Nobel Committee has any idea what they are doing. They are instead trying to impose their own radical political message and are trying to indoctrinate the public with their choice. In the last few years the Nobel committee has become a mouthpiece for, transparent, undesirable political propaganda.

To all those whiners saying he does not deserve it. He in his inaguration speech talked about how important it is for US to work with the world rather than unilaterally. He had made many efforts to stop the detrimental policies of Bush, such as allowing torture and holding people without any rights of lawful process.
And he is continuing to try and commit to the road of unification and peace and that is also something that counts. He may not have actually done something but having the intention to do something and trying to do something is also worth something.
Besides, if he does not get it then who should? The war-criminal Benjamin Netanyahu who bombs UN buildings?

I can only add my dismay to the many who believe that this award has not been earned. To win other Nobel prizes, people must dedicate the majority of their lives to physics, medicine, literature and produce a body of work so profound that this award becomes a pinnacle of their success. The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Barrack Obama marginalizes all the work these other people have dedicated their lives to. Not to say Mr. Obama has potential; certainly like any other human being he can achieve greatness; but this award has been given to him at the start of his journey, rather than at some successful conclusion to it. I am very disappointed.

@Kamiz: Well, about Obama haven't done nothing yet at home, I think its unfair, the guy iherited a lot of problems from trouble make G. Bush jr. And let us be frank and realistics it is not easy to FIx those problem in under one year in Office: Trillions of dollars debt, and Economy in peril, a World at war and so on. Let us look at it this way, if it helps to calm down the frustration. Obama has genuinely seeked World peace and have initiated several processes towards that endeavour. He has told Ahamadinahad (spelling lol) of Iran that America is ready to talk. He has initiated the closure of Guantanmo Bay, but republicans wouldn't let the bill to pass. Obama has called for greener technologies and efforts against Global warming. Obama has extended a golden leaf to the Arabs and so on. Let us look at it this way, this is a political message to Obama to continue the good work towards getting Americans out of Iraq, close Guantanomo and give World peace a chance. Need I say more.

"Too early", "did nothing yet". The potential and willingness to do something for peace has never been so real from the USA. Sure it is difficult and complex but Obama's commitment and focus to world peace and environmental sustainability is really courageous. I think the NPP committee were very clever to use the prize as a catalyst to the peace process. Obama is more a symbolic figure. The peace process won the prize today. Stop whining and celebrate the potential for peace. It is amazing how an act for peace can inspire so much ignorance and aggression. Chill out

I fail to see how doubling then tripling the national debt is supposed to bring peace to the world. If he is trying to cause a second civil war in the US or cause the US Government to default on their Treasury Securities (causing massive global unrest) then I would say he is doing a great job.

The biggest and funniest joke ever in the 21st century. The Nobel prize for piece is awarded to president of that country, which is responsible for deteriorating peace in the whole world. I think that US president is awarded Nobel prize for peace due to long history of peace practices rendered by his country; from atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Vietnam war, biggest supporter of the Zionist state whose soldiers are killers and murderers of innocent Palestinians , played the game of bloodshed in Iraq and has continued such practice of bloodshed in Afghanistan. Now, we can say that USA is just like a mad wolf, who is fond of killing the human beings especially the Muslims. The surprising decision of the Nobel foundation ever made in its history. I can not forget this.

Why does a man or women have to wait until their death bed to be recognied, It is clear that the Barack Obama wants the best for his people, he advocates World Peace, Heal Care for All, Jobs for Americans, etc, etc, and the list goes on. All of those war-torn countries must work themselves to restore peace, Its what the USA gets for trying to help people in need.

For years (Since Carter's nomination) I've thought the Nobel prize has been losing its luster, and this is it's final nail. This is about as credible as Time Magazines "Person of the year" award.

He has not achieved anything so far. Most people who are trying to defend this award, mention his speeches, as if he is the only one giving similar speeches. What has he done to achieve peace ? I can't think of anything major. He did make few good speeches but has done almost nothing to turn his words into actions. He is definitely better (more sane) president than Bush but that does not mean that he should be awarded peace prize.
If they really wanted to give him peace prize, they should have waited at least one or two years, so we could see how he made the world a better place.

It's good to see so many people with enoughtsense to realize what a joke the Noble Pease Prize has become. Can anyone tell what exactly Obama has done to earn this. He is a salesman / con-man hes made promises he can never keep and done a lot of talking but he hasn't accomplished anything. Obama goes on another vacation to Sweden to try and get the Olympics for his buddies in Chicago. Mean while Americans are dying in Afghanistanand and he hasn't bothered meeting with the General in charge for months who has been asking for more help. Maybe he got the NPP for stopping the funding to the Iranian Human Rights Watch group since it seems more peaceful without anyone reporting the Iranian Government atrocities.
I don't think he has realized he has got to do some real work instead of jet setting with Air Force One and being a salesman / con-man.
By the way who else is sick of hearing all the murdering, bombing terrorist Arabs cry like babies and blame someelse whenever the rest of the world punishes them for there wicked evil behavior?

Giving Obama the peace prize--the leader of the greatest war machine ever assembled--a trillion dollar a year war machine, with over 800 bases in 130 countries and shooting wars in three countries--is another act of desperation.
An attempt by the elites to bolster one of their own.
An attempt to restore legitimacy to a plundering, greed stricken ruling caste that is so afraid of its citizens that it has to surveil them around the clock and strip them of their constitutional rights.

Well, the general consensus seems to be that Obama does not merit the Nobel Peace Prize. I voted for Obama and I hope that he does well, but I have to agree with the general consensus.
It would seem that, considering some of the choices that the Nobel Committee has made, there is no set of standards to determine who should merit the Nobel Peace Prize.
I think that, if possible, Obama should inform the committee that he does not wish to accept the prize. There must be someone else in the world who is worthy.
