Joining the ranks of the undeserving

Why was the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to President Obama? Alfred Nobel intended that his Peace Prize should be awarded "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity; between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses."

President Obama has had no foreign policy successes and has accomplished nothing except to spend trillions of dollars of our children's and grandchildren's money on his failed government programs. Other than dither about sending more troops to Afghanistan, he hasn't done anything regarding war and peace. Outrageous awards of the Nobel Prize were made to Carter, Gore and Arafat, and now Obama joins the ranks of the undeserving.
