I'm sitting at an airport waiting to board, so I'm going to go ahead and post this. This involves politics, but I think it can be debated outside of political beliefs.
If you haven't heard the news, Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize. While I certainly think he has done a pretty good job diplomatically, I think this is ridiculous. He hasn't really done anything yet! Other Science-based Nobel Prizes wait years before they award someone who made a significant contribution because they want to make sure whatever they contributed actually made an impact.
The prize isn't supposed to be a popularity contest.
Maybe he should win it--but not for 10 or 15 years.
But that is just my opinion--do you think awarding him a Peace Prize is premature?
