From Breitbart:
OSLO (AP) - President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples," the Norwegian Nobel Committee said, citing his outreach to the Muslim world and attempts to curb nuclear proliferation.
The stunning choice made Obama the third sitting U.S. president to win the Nobel Peace Prize and shocked Nobel observers because Obama took office less than two weeks before the Feb. 1 nomination deadline. Obama's name had been mentioned in speculation before the award but many Nobel watchers believed it was too early to award the president.

When was Obama nominated for this thing? Awarding it to someone who has achieved nothing certainly devalues the award. Oh... wait... Arafat already took its value to zero.

Where is the world more peaceful? What has President Obama improved? Middle east? Iran? N. Korea? Afghanistan? Some place else? If anyone can point to a major foreign policy accomplishment by Obama, please post it here. Relations with many of our closest allies, such as Israel, GB and France are actually worse. This "political" award is demeaning to former deserving recipients.
