Did Obama deserve the Nobel Peace prize?

He didn't deserve it. Peace price, Smeesh prize.
I think you have to do something ridic good to get it, not something as minuscule as what he did.

So: undo everything Bush did, and get a free peace prize?

Anyone can be nominated, there's no hinderance. This is perfectly fine unless you're in favour of totalitarian ideas...

On a similar note, George W. Bush was nominated each year of his presidency IIRC.

Same as any other politician. I really never believe anything they say. Most are all hacks. Telling people what they want to hear, but never following through with what they say. I know certain things can't be changed overnight. Some things that the government has neglected are to messed up to fix, it would take a decade or more. He has not made any change to this country, nor will he ever. He is useless and just a celebrity president. This country was so desperate for change, is why he won the election.I stand by my word that he has not keep his. What lame reason did he win this prize for anyway?

Huh...isn't that how you win elections? people want to hear sweet things and be spoonfed with bullshit and lies. If you tell them the truth, you'll never be president. LOL

This is your surmise?

Why should we trust you are correct?

Proofs are required, you see.
