Welcome

No, Barack Obama did not deserve to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Nobel Peace Prize is meant to recognize and honor the further progress of peace within the world--and it has to be earned. Historically, there have been unusual decisions on the part of the Nobel board--including the awarding of the Peace Prize to Henry Kissinger for his work in Cambodia, during the worst year of the Vietnam War--but none so unusual as the awarding of the Prize to President Obama. If you look at the timeline, they made their preliminary decision within a week of his inauguration--and what could Barack Obama have done within that week? Becoming our first African-American President could have been his only act in office at that time--and as we recently learned in Massachusetts, just "showing up for the dance" doesn't mean you're going to be elected the Prom Queen, anymore than simply running as a Democrat in Massachusetts is an automatic guarantee of being selected State Senator. Either the Board should have waited a year or more--or Obama should have declined the award.
