Today, as most have heard, President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. The news reports state that he was nominated two weeks into his presidency. So the question is: isn't that a bit early? Especially given that he hasn't quite achieve a whole lot since inauguration?

Is this vote simply a sign of relief that Bush and his group are gone? Is it to make a political point? The other issue is that President Obama will now have the weight of the Peace Prize on his shoulders if he ever has to decide to go to war or to extend war. Will this Peace Prize tie his hands?

What do you think?
