President Barack Obama Nobel Peace

"He accepted it with humility and class and grace, on behalf of the many unheralded heroes who often struggle in silence against violence and repression.

President Barack Obama Nobel Peace Prize win mocks award; GOP has ammunition on Iran, Afghanistan

I really think obama should not have won the award because presidents are not peacemakers they want peace but in the end peace is not reached.
What they call world peace is not really peace but what they believe is peace is not peace for every one.
  • Teddy Roosevelt won it in 1905 for helping to end the Russo-Japanese War.
  • Woodrow Wilson won it in 1919 after pushing to join the League of Nations.
  • Jimmy Carter won it in 2002- (not while he was elected in office) for humanitarian efforts.
  • Barack Obama won it in 2009 for "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between peoples".
  • Al Gore is the only VP to win it for his efforts on reducing Global warming and promoting strict environmental standards.
