Does President Obama Deserve the Nobel Peace Prize?

The Committee also cited Obama’s “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples” and “attached special importance to Obama’s vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.” While world leaders and former Nobel Peace Prize laureates congratulated Obama, many other observers expressed surprise or downright disapproval at the Nobel Committee’s decision to honor Obama for what they see as his ambitions rather than his achievements.
