President Obama may not think that he is deserving of this award but the committee that selects the recipients had their reasons for selecting him. Furthermore, I resent the fact that everyone acts as if Barack Obama's career began on January 20th 2009. This is the same argument we fought so hard against during the campaign, ie, he is not experienced enough, what has he done, etc. Go back and check your notes on how you refuted these arguments and you will see that the Nobel Committee had ample reason to nominate our President and to ultimately select him as the winner. He has been a champion for peace during his entire public life. The fact that he was nominated less than two weeks into his presidency shows that the committee was not considering his accomplishments after January 20th when nominating him. Clearly, the Nobel Committee was looking at Barack Obama's accomplishments before he became president.
