United States President Barack Obama on Friday made his mark in history when he won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.

The luminaries who have won the coveted prize include Mother Teresa, Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama and Martin Luther King Jr.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee attached special importance to Obama's vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.

Thanks to Obama's initiative, the USA is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting. Democracy and human rights are to be strengthened, the committee said.

Do you agree with the Nobel committee's decision? Does Barack Obama deserve the Nobel Peace Prize?

Who is Obama? Have he done anything yet or just promised to do that in future? From when Nobel commitee started giving nobel prize on promises?

Give me that prize I'll will promise Kashmir issue will be solved... will it be enough for my nobel prize?

This must be a joke.
He is only nine months into the job. How could that possibly qualify him for a Nobel prize?
The Nobel prize now means nothing!

Absolutely the best way to let the USA know that the rest of the world considers the Bush/Cheney Republicans reactionary, jingoistic, pigheaded, incompetent, and just plain dangerous.

I believe it is the work of Zionists and others to give him the present in advance to attack Iran under the pretex of preventing nuclear proliferation.
He will become the younger brother of Bush.
