He certainly deserves it more than Obama (let's not mention Kissinger).

Obama's prize was more of a credit for good deeds in the future. Jagland himself (Nobel committee chairman) partly confirmed that. Sadly, it didn't work out. Rather backfired.

[seferphier]

the ability to sell 'hope' and 'change' is a powerful one.

except that obama kept the million dollar prize. since he didnt return it id call that stealing.

[icebraining]

"Kept" is a rather strange way of saying "donated to charity".

[ekianjo]

Well he shouldn't even dispose of the money the way he wants if he did not deserve it.

[Nux]

Yep, they should take it back from Obama and give it to Snowden.

[heelhook]

Fortunately its not about who deserves it more than whom, (theoretically) its about who deserves it the most (although, imho, that's hardly ever the case).

[mushfiq]

Frankly speaking I dont think any one can give "valid" explanation why Obama won it!

[sigzero]

There is no valid reason, that is why.

[Numberwang]

At the time he got it he and Putin deserved it. Had he not gotten it then, he would def. not deserve it now after all the horrible decisions he's made since.

What's wrong with good ole' Hank?
