Um...no.
As I previously stated, Henry Kissinger winning it pretty much stained the prestige of the Peace Prize. Obama is just one of the most recent examples of people who shouldn't have won it.

I support the President. And his being awarded the Nobel Prize puzzled me. I don't think he did anything, up until that point in time, to earn it. This not a knock on the President whose good work I appreciate. But fair is fair. Somehow, the Nobel committee lowered its standards. I suspect it was an award solely for recogntion of the first African-American to be elected to the office.
