He got the price not for his efforts, but for his image of representing some kind of global hope.

This seems to get worse with every new president they get to be honest, as Bush also had that 'Messiah' like approach early on.

After such high 'hopes', it will get worse from now on for sure.

I don't think Obama doesn't deserve such a price, but it is indeed a bit silly when you think about what he has accomplished so far. Some of his actions were great, but the actual results aren't there yet.

I don't understand why trying to achieve, instead of achieving actual peace is praise worthy. Easiest peace project? Pull out of Iraq.
