The Nobel Peace Prize does have it's share of madmen, dictators and terrorists on the list of nominees and holders. Obama is by far not the worst on that list.

Doing something for peace is not dependent on being a universally good person. You can still save more lifes than you have butchered.

Obama isn't even the worst American on that list. Henry Kissinger has one.

At least Kissinger ended a major war. Obama ended none and started U.S. involvement in more.

If anything, some winners seem to dive into bad behavior after they're awarded. Aung San Suu Kyi and Abiy Ahmed being two recent examples.
