I'm as surprised as anybody that President Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.

I would argue that one could congratulate Obama, yet still disagree with the decision. I'm an Obama fan, but I think this was WAY premature. The criticism isn't focused on Obama, it's focused on the committee. There were others that were more deserving.
