Fox Valley reaction to Obama Peace Prize

"I see him more as a celebrity than a president. He's great at talking, but I don't think he's done a whole lot to prove that he's worthy of something like this."

- Brendan Morse, 19, Elgin college student who does not endorse Obama

"He thinks differently about the war, Guantanamo Bay, the world. Maybe that's why (he won) because he's a president that's really different - he's not a common president."

- Leo Urdaneta, 40, Elgin resident and business owner who supports Obama

"I think that he has done a lot for our country. He walks into a very, very tough job at a very, very tough time. It takes a lot of power and grace to do it the way that he has."

- Jackie Williams, 26, Elgin mom who supports Obama

"He hasn't done anything up to this point in time to warrant a Nobel Peace Prize. Maybe down the line. I think he has potential to do a lot. I don't think he's done it yet."

- Karen Anderson, 49, of Hanover Park who works in Geneva and voted for Obama last year

"He hasn't done a whole lot. He's a much better speaker than (former President) Bush. I think they're going to think we're very weak, that's what I'm afraid of. He's talked nice to Iran so far and they're still doing what they want to do."

- Marilyn Loechl, 83, of St. Charles, who did not vote for Obama last year

"I feel honored that our president has reached such a high award. It's my understanding he's one of three (U.S. Presidents to do so.) It's always great do have positive things take place in America and this is one of them."

- Robert Langeness, 69, of Geneva, who did not vote for Obama last year
