Why a peace prize?

So Barak Obama won a Nobel Peace prize for making speeches and making promises. It is an insult to all those people who for decades won the prize for risking their lives, their reputions, and their careers for decades for the cause of peace. I've ben thinking of all the people more deserving of a peace prize than Barak Obama. They include. Andy Griffith Big Bird Any scoutmaster Spartacus John McCain John Wayne A patch of mold growing in my shower. In short, virtually anyone. This is no slight to the president. He may do something someday. But so far he has done nothing. It is the equivalent of giving a third grader the Nobel Prize in science because he owns a chemistry set.
