The Nobel Peace Prize was greatly devalued when it was given to Obama in the midst of bombing other countries.

Does anyone have an explanation of why Obama deserved to receive it?

Ang San Suu Chi, Kissinger, Yasser Arafat, and Cordell Hull raised no eyebrows then?

Hmm I've actually thought about that for a long time and I think the prize was in a way for the American people not for the war but peace within the society (or so we though) in electing a black president who went on to take action to get the America/World out of recession wanting change..There is zero evidence of what I'm saying by the way complete speculation, but that's why I believe the prize was given to him overzealously. If I recall Obama himself felt strange about the prize and was taken aback. He considered not picking it up and had his staff ask if he could skip the ceremony.
