Is President Obama worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize, at least, so early in his Presidency?  :o

No.
The voting took place after less than a Month in office...11 days to be exact.

It's a political move by the Nobel committee plain and simple.

The only republican president to get one was Roosevelt. If your a high profile democrat with a cause then they give you one. The only dem. president or ex president not to get one (yet) is Clinton. Even Al Gore got one. All he's really accomplished is a lot of lobbying...

I dont think he deserves it because he is insane and wants to make school longer.  I think I just might move to canada if he does.

Obama was elected 11 days before the cutoff date for the awards. He "deserves" it because he says he's going to do things. He also is telling the USArmy to stay fighting.

Please list in order the great accomplishments that took place in those 11 days and changed the World to the extent that the prize was justified...

I'll wait...

I think everyone, including President Obama, agrees he has not yet earned the prize. I'm just hoping this doesn't turn into a highly political thread. Or one that bases the Nobel Peace Prize on the length of a school year or because "He also is telling the USArmy to stay fighting" (please - don't even bother trying to explain that to me ;D ).

It's strange that Obama received an award after such a short time but the award for physics was awarded for inventing the CCD which happened in 1969.

What the heck does the length of the school year have to do with winning the Nobel Peace Prize ? ?

Unreal.

Sounds like you are contradicting yourself now...

Typical.
