President Obama deserved the Nobel Peace Prize

He may have come to office with a heartfelt promise of change, and restored America’s global standing after the brazen imperial excesses of the Bush administration, but, only nine months into his presidency, should the Nobel committee really have awarded their Peace Prize to Barack Obama?
