What in the world?

Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize? Come on.Can't they wait until something is actually accomplished? The prize isn't supposed to be given for ideas. And besides, as H says, isn't he fighting a war right now? I think it's just the committee's way of saying- we like the US president now. But although I have no real problem with Obama himself (apart from the wars), I do have a problem with this. So come on, committee. Next year give the award to someone who has really done something; don't just use it to make a political statement.
Lech Walsea said it well “So soon? Too early. He has no contribution so far.” Check out the video in the above link. Almost exactly what H and I have been saying in the last 10 minutes since we got the news.
(If he's this popular, why couldn't he get the Olympics in Chicago?)
