The committee highlighted Mr Obama's efforts to support international bodies and promote nuclear disarmament.

Mr Obama's spokesman said the president was "humbled" to have won the prize. He said he woke Mr Obama up with the news early on Friday.

I am shocked that he was even considered for a Nobel Prize in the first place. See, Lech Walesa got one because he dedicated years and years of his life for the Solidarity movement. Now, Obama, a man who has not done anything yet gets the prize? Truth be told, I believe in awards for action, not for talking and living in Alice's Wonderland.

Well Obama has not restored the economy or ended the war.

[gigatron4]

So, restoring US economy or ending somebody else's wars deserve this Nobel Prize?....several presidents have done the same in other countries...

You are so fooled..... Europe belives that US is the source fo all evil(cuz of eny). The thing is that they belive that Obama is "anti-US".

Thats why he gets the nobel prize.

Trust me I'm from Sweden, most people here will ALLWAYS hate the most powerful nation and will even support anything that is against that like muslim extremists and communism, just for the sake of hating that nation(America).
