It's not like the right was thrilled when Al Gore, Jimmy Carter or Desmond Tutu won either.

Is it really Obama's fault he won the Nobel Prize in his sleep?

Contratulations to President Obama for winning this award.  This is an affirmation that his efforts are contributing to a stable Iraq and the continuing the efforts against the Taliban an Al Qaida are synonymous with world peace.  I applaud and encourage his efforts in these very important areas.  The world is clearly a better and much stable place because of his policies.

Limbaugh, Hannity, etc seem to have a bad case of sour grapes.
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

I congratulate him for winning it also, however, when I first heard the news the only thing I could think was...ALREADY? 

Come on guys, he hasn't done enough or done much in these 9 months in Office.  He hasn't even seen anything through to completion or fruition which would truly merit him winning the Nobel Peace Price.

I guess most of the world is just happy the U.S. has basically gone back to it's quasi-leadership role and since Bush left is no longer the "bully" or "bad boy on the block."  And they attribute this change of leadership to Obama and a "breath of fresh air" to boot.

HU He got the prize because he has been able to change the international climate,"Nobel Committee chairman Thorbjoern Jagland said. (Per Yahoo News)

"He got the prize because he has been able to change the international climate,"Nobel Committee chairman Thorbjoern Jagland said."

What does this mean specifically? This is such a general statement. It certainly brings to question the credibility of the prize in my views. When I see opinions like the ones posted here, it seems more like a partisan prize awarded to swipe at the American conservative than an award given on the basis of merit. 

I honestly have not heard any rhetoric from the President that is different than most politicians running for political office (i.e. fewer nuclear arms in the world, peace in the Middle East, etc).  So far, he has had as much success as other political candidates in fulfilling these goals.  ???

I wish him luck but where are the results?

OMG!!!!!!!! I'm sooo tired of this crap. People are treating it like he went out and campaigned for the NPP. Regardless of your party affiliation, is it not an accomplishment for America? Anywhoo... not gonna get into this so early on a Saturday morning. Opinions are like assholes....and we all have one.  >:(

For What? ...and to think they ignored poor Jimmy Carter all these years! Without a doubt the Nobel is now simply an instrument of politics, nothing more, nothing less.
