Obama won this award because........
I'm not sure if you're a troll or simply weak-minded, but it really doesn't matter; you've eliminated any lingering doubts I had either way, and so confirmed that trying to engage you in an intelligent conversation is a waste of time.

Thanks but you realize it's the Nobel PEACE Prize right? Most if not all of what you listed has nothing to do w/the award (offhand I don't have time to comb the entire list) and the question wasn't "what has Obama done since in office" - it was "what has he done to merit this award."
