This is a joke, right?
The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize goes to BARACK OBAMA?!

The man's been in office barely nine months. He hasn't accomplished anything as of yet.

What the hell are they giving him the Peace Prize for? Scrapping the missile shield in East Europe?

^_^; I sort of anticipated the tidal wave of criticism on this one. Me, I'm just rooting for the man. Like always. ^_^;;

The committee has used past Peace Prizes as political statements. Many people think this was as much a slap in the face to Bush as it was accomplishments to Obama. Add onto the fact that nominations had to be submitted by Feb and its more about hope that he will do well than anything else.

By all accounts, he wasn't even aware he had been nominated and seemed equally puzzled in the audio clips I've heard in the radio. I suspect that this was more an acknowledgement that the Nobel foundation sees Mr. Obama's attempts to radically change the way we engage in foreign diplomacy as worthy enough to offer the prize--we'll have to hope that they are right.

Hey, at least he's donating the prize money to charity. God knows there are more than a few that need it right now.
