Ohhh. I see. Kinda like the 'nasty conservatives' basically said at the time then, right? It was awarded for absolutely nothing actually DONE, but the HOPE of what he MIGHT do.
This seemed like a good idea after a bumbling idiot like Bush became a Bull in the global China shop as a war time President? Yeah... I can ..kinda..erm No. No, I can't see how that was supposed to work.

So, basically, it didn't mean much more to him than it did to the people who gave it as a hope toward the future. Hmmm... I'm sure glad no one more worthy and who might have valued the award had been in the running.....oh, wait. 2009 Nobel Peace Prize runners.

The former director of Norway’s Nobel Institute revealed this week that he regrets the committee’s decision to give the 2009 Nobel Peace award to President Obama.
Geil Lundestad, director at the institute for 25 years, said in his just-published memoir that he and the committee had unanimously decided to grant the award to Mr. Obama just after his election in 2009 more in hopes of aiding the American president to achieve his goals on nuclear disarmament, rather than in recognition of what Mr. Obama had already accomplished.

The award so early in his term appeared to take the Obama White House by surprise, and Mr. Lundestad said U.S. officials privately asked if a Nobel Prize-winner had ever skipped the awards ceremony.
