OSLO, Norway - President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday in a stunning decision designed to encourage his initiatives to reduce nuclear arms, ease tensions with the Muslim world and stress diplomacy and cooperation rather than unilateralism.

Nobel observers were shocked by the unexpected choice so early in the Obama presidency, which began less than two weeks before the Feb. 1 nomination deadline.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2.gif (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33237202/ns/politics-white_house?GT1=43001#) said Obama woke up to the news a little before 6 a.m. EDT. The White House had no immediate comment on the announcement, which took the administration by surprise.

Because no other president has tried to reduce world nuclear arms and stop the fighting in the Middle East? Are you kidding me?

I may have voted for the guy, but I don't think he deserves this. Hell, I barely think he deserved my vote anymore.

I've seen this thread on every forum I'm on, and on every single one of them, even Obama supporters are asking "WTF?"

[awd-drifter]

that's messed up. even Obama's staff is shocked.

[CVD]

I would like to be outraged but um, Al Gore already has one. I just don't think I have it in me to care.

Congratulations to Obama. I don't see any of YOU guys getting a nobel peace prize.

[Kracka]

I don't honestly see Obama doing a whole lot more than any of us to make this world a better place.
