To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who’ve been honored by this prize — men and women who’ve inspired me and inspired the entire world through their courageous pursuit of peace. — 2009

My Take – As I’ve said before, President Obama is many things, but he is not a peacemaker.  While he may have transformed the world, he did not do it for the betterment of mankind, and he certainly didn’t do it peacefully.  The fact that the Nobel Committee gave him the award without even waiting to see what, if anything, he would accomplish while in office was nothing more than a thumb in the eye of President Bush and those who oppose President Obama.

If President Obama had any kind of humility or class, he would have refused the award on the grounds that he hadn’t earned it.  He truly does not deserve to stand among the great people who have won it, and his presence on that roll of honor brings discredit to it.
