The prize was given to Obama, and not the United States.
Anyone with half a brain realizes that the President, even the best one can't create peace in any way possible by himself. It takes the collective will of the WHOLE government. Hell, with most foreign aid given to other countries in hope of establishing 'peace'....or helping people out, the aid is directed by Congress. The President just signs off.
Me thinks that whoever picked Obama for the prize was caught up in the stupidity of thinking one man can actually change the world.
Obama can't even implement the health care changes HE wants without running into resistance from his own party. How the hell is he going to create a more peaceful world when it means having to work with, or against some of the most screwed up people in the world?
