I personally believe that no one deserves an award for "good intentions".

Good intentions doesn't stop US soldiers from dying in Afghanistan or Iraq.
Good intentions doesn't stop fix healthcare.
Good intentions doesn't lead to economic growth.

But apparently good intentions can get you $1,000,000. The award is nothing more than rhetoric, it changes nothing and Obama still has a lot of work to do before we see any of his good intentions come to fruition...if anything, winning the prize puts even more pressure on him since it hammers the fact that the world is watching.

I personally believe that Obama can't even get a fraction of his agenda completed. He seems to be the sort of person who over-analyzes before making a decision and is open to hear opposing sides. Yes this is great, but to an extent. At some point a strategy and an action must be decided upon. This is why he seems to "flip flop" on many issues.
