On another note... this is actually a prize which may shape policies. It makes it that much harder for Obama to attack Iran, for example.

I wonder if that was the intention? Somehow it would make more sense then (in a twisted kind of way).

Well there is speculation that this is a bit of encouragment for Obama to press even harder for peaceful policies.

@Kasz. I don't believe it's comical, perhaps premature though.

You don't find it comical that he was nominated 2 weeks after he was president... and won without accomplishing anything.

I mean.  Go over a list of past Nobel Peace Prize Winners first... and you'll see how ridiculiously pale Obama's resume looks in comparison.

Anyone who won a prize for the same reason he did spent decades on achiving peace.

Aside from the "Hey they're about to make peace in the middle east" Israel palestine award... that ended up being premature by only a stirke of a pen and Ariel Sharon's hesitation.

I mean  it just goes to show how bad a president Bush was.  You win a Nobel peace prize just for not being him!
