But I do think giving it to Obama was premature. He's only been in office 8 months.
The deadline for submitting nominations for the 2009 Nobel was
Feb. 1. Obama was sworn in to office
Jan. 20.
I know. They were basically voting based on wishful thinking. I agree that it's ridiculous

.
In my opinion Dr. Sima Samar is the person who should have won the Nobel Peace Prize.
A person should NOT be nominated for an honor such as this based on what they "plan" to or "set out" to do. That nomination should be based on what a person has accomplished, achieved, has done and continues to do.
