Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize
Seriously, what has he done to earn the honour? "Extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples"? What efforts? I mean, yes, he's made some nice speeches here and there, and he's not actively hindering diplomacy like his predesessor - but nothing I'd class as 'extraordinary', and his primary focus seems to have been on domestic issues.
I mean, alright, I've never been onboard with the Obama hype, but please, can anyone point to something he's done that justifies this award?
(My choice? I was betting on Morgan Tsvangirai)
