Yep, I can't think of a good OP right now. Just discuss it. Should he have won it, or should he not have one it? Congratulate him.

He shouldn't have won it. Perhaps after his 8 years, with the benefit of hindsight with some real achievements under his belt, but not now. He hasn't really affected any real change since he's taken office.

Agreed.

Okay....

Why did he win it? All he did was become president. Which was done before by a load of guys.

I don't think he should've won it, for a few reasons. First of all, like others have said, he hasn't had much chance to do anything. I'm not criticizing what he has done, but I certainly don't think he's done anything epic enough to win him the prize.
I also happen to think a Nobel Peace Prize should steer clear of political figures under radar. Obama has a lot of supporters, but also far too many critics. People could least consider that maybe they are wrong about him. I'm not saying whether Obama's taking the right or the wrong direction, but with so much controversy over his decisions, it really isn't fair to judge them as automatically right before they've taken effect, and before some of them have even been made.

He doesn't won a prize.

What does this mean?
He didn't win a prize? Yes he did.
He doesn't want the prize? That's not the issue.
He doesn't deserve to win the prize? Back up your answer.

What you've typed is the most illiterate thing I've seen in quite some time.

From the little I have read about it he has won the Nobel Prize for dreaming big...

Right now, the last thing he needs is to be winning a prize he arguably doesn't deserve.

I don't understand why he got it :/ Did they lack better candidates?
It's not really something I'm intrigued by but still.

Congratulate him.

No, I will not, because I don't believe he should have won it. He won it for something he hasn't even done yet. That's just wrong.

First of all congratulations.
Now my opinions, I think that's too early for this, cause he did not do anything that impressive yet.
