This award is basically an award for not being George Bush. He hasn't actually really done anything deserving of a Nobel Peace Price, especially compared to what others have done in the last year, I'm sure. This award will tell all the people that thought the loss of Chicago for the Olympics meant that the world didn't like Obama that they were wrong. Of course, now this opens the door for the end of the world conspiracy theorists in some way or another...

On the other hand, I would really enjoy seeing Obama smugging it up over the howls of outrage from the Right. Also, it gives me the opportunity to post this: 
Which is how he must be feeling right about now.

Good grief!

"Uniting?" I think you misspelled that - the proper spelling is "untieing"

Most commentators this morning are inferring that the Nobel committee's intention is to support his goals, and hope that the prestige will help him achiev his goal to change the international community's tone and approach to diplomacy. If so, I hope that it works, but I'm rather pessimistic. Countries will do what they and what they believe is in thier own interests, and few of the bad actors will be moved at all by this award.

Refusing the award would probably cause more problems than accepting. However, I would not be surprised if he dedicates his speech to other deserving heroes, and I hope he consders donating the prize to a peaceful cause.
