Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize I respect that man so hard. Congratulations, Mr. President.
eta: I know lots of people are unhappy about this, and incredibly critical. And I can't speak for those individuals nominated who did not win, but I can say that I don't think it's wrong to do this. Whether he affects change in office or not (though I believe he will) he has already affected change, literally, worldwide. That's something to be celebrated.
Perhaps I'm incredibly idealistic or naive, but I prefer the term hopeful. /ETA
