any one that deserves it should have been in the running at least.

President Obama won a Noble Peace Prize for doing nothing to bring about peace. Shouldn't President Kennedy have won one for his handling of The Cuban Missle Crisis? Shouldn't President Bush have won one for keeping The Country safe after 9/11? Please note this is not a partisan question. I mentioned a Democratic president and a Repubublican president. be seeing you

I don't feel that Bush kept us safe after 9/11.

well lets ee wht the president has to say regarding this see below:

This morning, Michelle and I awoke to some surprising and humbling news. At 6 a.m., we received word that I'd been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009.

To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who've been honored by this prize -- men and women who've inspired me and inspired the entire world through their courageous pursuit of peace.

But I also know that throughout history the Nobel Peace Prize has not just been used to honor specific achievement; it's also been used as a means to give momentum to a set of causes.

That is why I've said that I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations and all peoples to confront the common challenges of the 21st century. These challenges won't all be met during my presidency, or even my lifetime. But I know these challenges can be met so long as it's recognized that they will not be met by one person or one nation alone.

This award -- and the call to action that comes with it -- does not belong simply to me or my administration; it belongs to all people around the world who have fought for justice and for peace. And most of all, it belongs to you, the men and women of America, who have dared to hope and have worked so hard to make our world a little better.

So today we humbly recommit to the important work that we've begun together. I'm grateful that you've stood with me thus far, and I'm honored to continue our vital work in the years to come.

Thank you,

President Barack Obama

I think its a joke- I will never think of the Nobel Peace prize as something important ever again! you don't have to do anything to get one!

If the Nobel committee deems it necessary to honor Obama with the Nobel, it is up to them. They think alot of him obviously.

That is a good thing for this country.

Did I sleep through another attack? be seeing you

I don't see how this committee could possibly know a person when only 10 days in office. this was a "push to do better" type award...not on his actions or merit
