The committee highlighted Mr Obama's efforts to support international bodies and promote nuclear disarmament.

Mr Obama's spokesman said the president was "humbled" to have won the prize. He said he woke Mr Obama up with the news early on Friday.

Indeed a Little Too Early to Honor him with a Nobel

For what result ? ...

Not that I find him unworthy ( Since I voted for him ) but this is to say the least presumptuous ...

Having Won an Election against Bush may have been an accomplishment but its not enough for the Nobel Peace Prize ! ...

There is still a War going on in Afghanistan ...

As much as I like him personally, I think this is a farce!

What a crazy screwed up we live in...

I wonder if Obama is embarrassed.
