Just so you know, I don't personally think he deserved the prize myself (not that I could name anyone else who does deserve it in this age). I'm just pointing out why I think he won it.
We don't really have a personal arguement on what is or isn't an accomplishment that earns you such a prize.. I'm just pointing out why the people on that comitee justified making Obama a winner.
And I think its more then telling people what they want to hear. Its going against your own leadership to promote world peace. And not only that, doing it in a peaceful manner, and winning.. Unfortunately that's not something that's done every day.
-EDIT-
By the way, you should read this:

Its not the first time someone won the prize based off of intent to do well opposed to actual accomplishments.
