I think this proves that the whole Nobel Peace prize is a sham. He had to have been nominated within 2 weeks of being elected, not enough time to have accomplished anything. The prize is supposed to go to someone who has actually accomplished something, besides being elected President.

I also think it's funny that Obama makes the THIRD Democratic President to win the Nobel in the past 7 years. Sounds like the democrats have control of the Norwegian Nobel Committee as well as the Presidency.

Carter in 2002 -accomplished alot long after leaving office.
Gore in 2007 -invented the internet, made a movie.
Obama in 2009 -first mixed-race elected president.
