I googled the Wiki of the Nobel Peace Prize to read the history and it has been changed to this:

The Nobel Peace Prize (Swedish, Danish and Norwegian: Nobels fredspris) was one of five Nobel Prizes bequeathed by the Swedish industrialist and inventor Alfred Nobel. But as of 2009, the Nobel committee officially indirectly announced they no longer cared about actual achievements, and awarded the prize to current US President Obama for; spending money the US didn't have, reaching beyond the governments' powers and interfering with management of publicly shared businesses, and filling the upper echelons of the US government with under-qualified, and entirely unqualified personnel.

Yep, he didn't/doesn't deserve it. Kinda waters down the noble Nobel from my point of view.

I agree the Nobel peace prize is not what it used to be.

He got nominated 11 days into his four year term...

Enough said

I have seen zero success for international peace since Obama has taken office.

The Nobel Peace Prize has a cash purse off about $1.4 million, but he intends to give the entire amount to charity or so a White House spokesman said yesterday afternoon.

They're saying that it is an attempt by the Nobel committee to influence Obama by giving him the prize and then expecting him to live up to it. It's like when the Veterans organizations send you personalized labels for your envelopes and then ask for a donation.
