Peace Prize
So I was reading the Digg comments about the President winning the peace prize; and most of them said the same thing, and can be summarized by the first comment.

And on a second note, he was awarded the prize for his ‘visions.’ I have visions, does that mean I can get the Peace Prize too? I always thought it was awarded to someone who had actually done some important work for peace. (not that Obama has done nothing, though, but still)
The worst part is, as a Norwegian, I suspect the nobel committee could have handed the prize to Obama just to make him visit us. Wouldn’t surprise me in the least.
So the general opinion seems to be that he hasn’t really done anything yet.
but my favorite comment had to be this one: rdxl
