Let's bypass the argument that Obama was or was not a legitimate candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize.
For background, from Wiki (feel free to cite more legitimate sources)....
[cite tags don't work]The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to U.S. President Barack Obama for his "extraordinary efforts" to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.[1] The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced the award on October 9, 2009, citing Obama's promotion of nuclear nonproliferation[2] and a "new climate" in international relations fostered by Obama, especially in reaching out to the Muslim world.[3][4]
The Nobel Committee's decision drew mixed reactions from US commentators and editorial writers across the political spectrum, as well as from the rest of the world.[/I wish they did]
If he were being considered TODAY, would he be awarded the Peace Prize?
