Bush was a world wide joke, and easilly one of the most hated people in the world by both terrorists, his own people, and other countries that are considered to be allies. Bush ruined the reputation of the free world in general.
Obama wasn't even running directly against Mccain, he was running against Bush's ideas last election. And that was enough to get him nominated for the prize since the world hated Bush so much. And once he took his job, he appologized to other countries for all of Bush's dumb mistakes.
That's my theory on why he won the Nobel peace prize.
(And that's why he won the election too, his own people were against the idea of Bush. Mccain, even though he was a different person then Bush... wasn't against the idea of Bush. Which is why he got destroyed last election. If he'd have joined the world in our hatred of Bush, he'd have stood a chance on other issues.)
