Obama wins 2009 Nobel Peace Prize

I found it pretty shocking today to read that President Obama had won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.

I like Obama, don’t get me wrong, but should he really have won the Peace Prize? Granted, he did not start the two wars that America is currently involved in, but he is now commander in chief, and not sure how someone leading two different wars could win the prize.

I think its more of an attempt to give him more credibility in future attempts at reaching out to the Muslim world and put a curb on nuclear expansion, and in that case I guess it makes sense to give him the prize, but whether or not he has done anything to merit the prize at this point is debatable at best, in my opinion at least.

What do you think? Should Obama have won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize?
