Barack Obama Wins 2009 Nobel Peace Prize (VIDEO)
POLL: Did Obama Deserve Nobel Peace Prize
President of the United States of America Barack Obama was announced as the winner of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday (October 9). Obama was chosen for his vision of a better world without nuclear weapons that has “stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations” and “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between people.”
We were completely surprised by this announcement. I actually thought that winning a Nobel Peace Prize meant you had done something, accomplished something to make the world a better place. Ideas are not enough. Good intentions are not enough. We need more than that and until now, I’m sorry, but Obama has done absolutely nothing!!
UPDATE: Bumpshack’s insider reveals Bob Gibbs woke up Obama with the news and the President was just as surprised as we were and thought he was joking.

It could not be made any more clear than this introduction by the Peace Committee has made it, the rationale and justification for the selection of President Obama for this esteemed award. For that, yes, he deserves it, as a vocal, clear and present leader for the making of a peace process amongst nations, while bearing the burden of having to wage war at the same time.
Followed by the speech of President Obama, himself, he reinforces the rationale and justification of this Committee in a very instructive outline of his philosophy, beliefs, policy, and his committment to the unfortunate and inevitability of making war in order to make peace.
