Obama Wins Nobel Prize (Despite Lack of Success)

Yeah, even though I agree with some of the things the guy is trying to do, I was surprised by this. I mean, the guy hasn't accomplished anything in this area.

Other than the Nobel Committee thumbing George W. Bush in the eye (again) there really seems to be no merit to this award.
Isn't this, at least, a bit premature?

I mean, shouldn't you at least do something before winning such a prestigious award?

As Reuters noted, the Nobel Committee,
awarded the prize to Obama less than nine months into his presidency. Despite setting out an ambitious international agenda, he has yet to score any breakthrough on the Middle East or Iran's nuclear program, and faces difficult choices on the conduct of the war in Afghanistan.
The award could not have been given...
