Deeming this prize undeserved is misunderstanding what the Nobel prize is meant for.
You don't get the prize if you fix your country and pull it out of debt and other local snafu's. Here is the prerequisite for getting the Nobel prize:
"to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses."
Obama has scored big on the first and second point alone. Opened up and reached out to many Muslim countries more visibly than past presidents and eased tensions with Russia by cancelling missile shield.
According to the press release, the committee gave the award for him encouraging "diplomacy and cooperation"...
If there was an award for fixing your country, then Obama would not have got it. Don't confuse the two! I agree though that he has not done enough and he has a lot on his plate with the 2 wars.
