Only 3 of the 5 will say that Obama deserved it? Do I smell some dissention within the comittee?

I like that they claim that giving Obama the award is within the guidelines of what Nobel really wanted.

"Alfred Nobel wrote that the prize should go to the person who has contributed most to the development of peace in the previous year," Jagland said. "Who has done more for that than Barack Obama?"

Ummm...who has done more? Probably everyone that was nominated. Obama has been in office less than a year, so HOW (seriously, how?) could he bring about peace w/ the West & Middle East while he was still a senator running for president? Does that even make sense? noooooooo, but apparently to the Norwegians it does.
