Nobel prize for what?

The intention behind the Swedes sucking up to the US for is everything but noble. There is otherwise no reason to give the Peace prize to Obama. The guy has been in office for just about 8 months, has not done anything other than make speeches and still has a long way to go in really making a difference to this world. Giving Obama all the benefit of doubt in the world, the award committee should have waited at least till his last year of Presidency.

In the current circumstances, a US president should be a peace award only if he/she manages to get out of Iraq and Afghanistan and get rid of at least Pakistan's nuclear proliferation if not the whole worlds...
