Obama has won a Nobel

No one else has ever been able to do that. I know its a small achievement to some, but comparatively speaking it is quite large.

Now, he won the Prize because he can actually do what he has set out to do and is in the process of making it happen. Yes, its political, but I wouldn't say he is not at all deserving. Glad he won it!

"Why put off for tomorrow what you can accomplish today?" Guess the Prize committee took this one to heart! lol!

It's hardly presumptuous (presumptous of what, exactly?) to say I don't feel he fits the criteria (which I quoted, just in case) and to ask that if you do, please tell what he has done that would qualify him to win. If, for whatever reason, you chose not to disclose why you think he qualifies - what are we to think?

When did shock and surprise enter the conversation? I will say that Obama himself said he was surprised - did you expect him to win? Really? (Rhetorical question, btw.)

Please see above.
