Nobel Peace Laureate 2009: Barack Obama

About two hours ago, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to US President Obama.

All the top comments on community forums seem to say the same things, which are generally negative. You can read the official press release for his award here. Here's a rundown of the emotions you may experience:
  1. Obama doesn't deserve that award. What a douche; I'm not voting for him again.
  2. It's not Obama's fault he won. It's the Nobel academy's fault! Damn Norwegians!
  3. It's actually kind of nice to have a president who is worthy of being nominated for this award, let alone winning it.
  4. I'm Canadian. I don't really care about this anyway.

So now he has a Nobel Prize. He can put it next to his Grammy.
