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.

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.
"Kept" is a rather strange way of saying "donated to charity".
Well he shouldn't even dispose of the money the way he wants if he did not deserve it.
