Nobel Peace Prize, Really?

As of the morning of Friday Oct. 9, 2009 Barack Obama is the official winner of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. But for what reason? Barack has given 3 speeches promoting peace and APOLOGIZING for our nations economic gluteny. Really? Basically this is saying that Obama has promoted the idea of peace. How about when Clinton negotiated the release of 3 US citizens from Korea a few months ago? That was definately not award worthy : / How about the individuals who serve in the US Peace Corps everyday, or those who serve in our military to "help bring PEACE to the middle east" or how about those protesting their tyrannical governments putting their lives out there for the peace of their countries? If non of those are award worthy, then how can we promote that talking about the idea of peace is Nobel worthy let alone little more than news worthy. I speak of peace everyday, I speak of solutions for peace, many of us talk about the peace movements everyday. Why is it that the recognitition of this glorious prize goes to a man who only speaks of peace but has yet to provide solidified evidence of potential worldly peace?

Yes, we can take pride in knowing that our president has been awarded the NobelPP but Jimmy Carter was awarded it in 1997. Can we take pride in knowing that one of the most prestigeous prizes has been awarded to someone who has yet to earn it? Speeking of peace and creating peace are two different stories.
