"Let us reach for the world that ought to be," Obama said. "We can understand that there will be war, and still strive for peace."

I agree with Obama on this one. I think that maybe they should have waited until the next award cycle to honor Obama (is the nobel annual?), if only because the committee is essentially banking on his future accomplishments, but I don't think the award is ill deserved.
