The fact that he is the first african american president should not play into whether he gets it or not. That my friends is racial bias. Its like a less qualified white man gets a job over an african american for the color of his skin everyone would say racism but when the role is reversed its not racism he deserved it!!! Why is that??? because of 400 years of slavery?? every race in this world at one point or another has been enslaved by another!! Look at Rome enslaving most of Europe and the Ottoman empire enslaving millions!!! Get over it!! Not one person who lives in America has ever owned a slave. I will not take this burden as I did not commit it. As long as people of any race think they deserve something by the color of their skin racism will never die!!!! When someone cries out because they didnt get a job just because the color of their skin and they know they werent qualified enough and then gets it because of the complaint it ruins the integrity of the united states. I have been discriminated against as I fall into a smaller minority than African or Mexican Americans. I am a disabled American Veteran. I had to read a question that equated me to a felon and was told that I just shouldnt answer it. So discrimination is not just about race its about people and their insecurities. Did Obama deserve it??? Heck no. There are far too many other people in this world far more deserving. It was political!!!

And give the man time to get things running right. Fat people don't lose weight and look like a model over night. Bush messed up this country before he left. And it's going to take fur terms to erase the damaged he did. President Obama had to start with something, give him time. He only been in office 10 months!!!

I have talk about things like this for a while, now I'm going to say this publicly. Barack Obama deserve this award just for the simple fact that he is the FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Everyone didn't agree to that either, but he is that! The Nobel Peace Prize is giving to those people who have accomplished something. He has accomplished becoming the First Africa-American President. Do you know how hard it was to do that, NO! you don't! Because if it has ever been hard for anyone black to make anything out of themselves here in this country, without being an entertainer, because it seems like you people think that we have to do is entertain you, then you would agree that Barack worked hard to get elected President. I applaud Barack, The Only Black Man That Didn't Have To Tap Dance To Get Noticed!!!!

I am in shock that an award that should be given to people who have done something to change the world would be given to a our first communist president. Why do people sleep through what is going on in this country. This man is trying to take away our rights and freedoms and turn us into communist Russia. WAKE UP AMERICA!!! This man and his ideas should have you scared to death!!!!

The Nobel prize comittee was the only legally constituted authority in the entire world that I still admired and respected. but now, I know that I cannot believe in any of these awards any more. Dont get me wrong. I do not only love Barack, I also admire and respect his gentlemanly desposition. but can anyone be given such a great hornor on mare promises? anyway, I am just going to move on with my life with my usual cynicism about so called constituted authority.

I waited for awhile to comment to listen to all of the points of view. First, I am appauled that the media and voices in America would even ask the question, "Do you think he deserves the prize?" The tone and lack of respect for the President of our country is sooooo disturbing. What a question. Asking folks to share their point of view and open some dialogue around what this prize can mean for the future of this country?.. How it will impact the outstanding work of Secretary Clinton?... and so on. Secondly, the negative reaction to his winning the prize emphasizes this country's limited understanding of the global impact of the election and the way America is viewed around the world. And last, but certainly not least, this did not come from the US. What an opportunity for this country to join the world community instead of believing that we should be the world dictators.

I am divided in whether or not President Obama actually deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. On one hand, broke barriers in becoming the first African-American president of the United States. It is no secret that racism still exists in the US, and he in some way bought the American people together at the polls. We elected him as our president not based on his race but what he stood for.

On the other hand, he contradicts one of the essential words in the title of the award: peace. We are a country at war that he, as the Commander in Chief is leading. With this he cannot receive an award for global peace when he's helping contribute to the world's turmoil.

I thought you had to have done something magnificient in this world to obtain a Noble Peace Prize! So if you are the 1st black President that gives you an automatic shield. Did HE invent the cure for AIDS? Did he end the War or ,pull out all our troops! Please someone explain why this came about!!! I spent 3 yrs in the treatment and prevention of the sexual abuse of children. I think that people such as myself are more deserving than the current receipient is

I strongly agree with the fact that Obama should not have won the award. also on that fact the nominations stopped ten days after he took office, so tell me what did he do in that ten day period to get that prize. Also the award is for accomplishments over the last year you know he didn't do a dam thing. Basically i'm with you will smith a 100% of the way. What obama should do is decline that award and make them give it to some more deserving like ghandi or heck those people who put hier liives on the line everyday in the third world countries.

Hooray, so he's trying to reform healthcare. He didn't create peace with this...he created a MESS!! Just like Al Gore...he didn't create peace with his propoganda about global warming...he created a problem. One that is going to waste billions of dollars on something unnecessary. He's creating socialized medicine on a huge scale, making us dependent on the government. He's not fostering our core capitalist beliefs, instead he's spending all of our money on government handouts, consolidating his power and grip on the government and the country. I know people feel so warm inside when they see his smug face, but doesn't anyone else see how he's turning us into the USSR? This is ridiculous. you cant even tell me we are a free market economy anymore, which is defined with "No government run businesses" after he took over GM and is running our industry. The government is owning much of the country's means of production. COMMUNIST anyone?? give him another peace prize. Maybe we should give him the order of Lenin too!!

Not deserved at all. He did not break the barriers of race in the presidency! The people did when they elected him....STOP GIVING HIM ALL THE CREDIT FOR BEING THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT. By the way, I would also like world peace and diplomacy all around...WHERE'S MY PEACE PRIZE. No whoever you are who talked about gitmo, he didnt close it, he simply talked about transferring terrorists to our soil....doesn't sound too wise to me. He's in favor of the war in afghanistan, which I am too, but does that reflect peace? If Bush were in this position, do you think he would have received the prize? dont think so!!. Will you please stop being so self righteous about the color of his skin...isn't it old news yet??!! NO he does not deserve the peace prize...how about we give him the keys to heaven next because he is clearly above us all.

I thinl that you are all wrong. He deserved that award.it took years to get where we are at to day, where a black man can be president. Just a couple of years ago white people where hanging black people just because they wanted freedom. Thats why it is more than a pigment. yHe represents all the change that has come over america in the last 5

No, he doesn't deserve it, he has done next to nothing so far for America, and was nominated 12 days into his term. All the committee did by giving the award to Obama is to undermine their credibility...

This "surprise" is easier to understand if you look at the US from the perspective of the rest of the world - having just returned from the UK and Ireland, there is relief that the policies of the Bush years are over and shared hope that the new tone already set by Obama means the US has returned to the high road in its international dealings.
