exactly, I mean if he doesn't do anything he promised what is gonna happen? Is he gonna return the prize? Is it some kind of 'in advance' prize?
I don't know, it might be just me but I think that Nobel Prize loosing its prestige and looks like another political 'toy' in situations like this.
anyway, personal opinion.

Even Obama publicly admitted he doesn't feel like he deserves it in his statement today. Actually smart politics on his part as people are getting a little weary of the press fawning over him.
Does anyone else think it interesting that this presentation was made just before the decision on the additional troops for Afghanistan?
