Politically, I line up pretty far opposite from President Obama on just about every issue. However, I am not terribly upset that he is winning the prize. He didn't ask to be nominated, and he didn't campaign for it. Basically, he was voted 'Most Likely to Succeed' by a bunch of Europeans.
To me, it's sort of like when the pizza man delivers to your house by mistake, and when you point out the error, he just tells you to keep it. I don't think really think about how little I deserve the pizza, or how disappointed the guy who actually ordered it must feel. Mostly, I think 'Hey, free pizza!'
