Is it still a respected thing? I was under the impression it’s not
Obama didn’t do anything except be elected and he was nominated. Can’t remember if he won it though but that seems like pretty weak criteria to be nominated.
Obama did win, and it was for his commitments to green energy and climate change. It’s widely considered bad to award people before they follow through to the end, especially for the nobel committee. I think they were trying to use it as further motivation to keep those commitments, but if anything it’s usually the opposite… at least when they give them to sociopath politicians. Could definitely be worse than Obama though.
Edit: Reading more on it, it looks like it was also for nuclear non-proliferation. I guess both are pretty valid awards for Obama, even if he could have done far more, especially in his first two years.
I hear some Oscar winners go on to work in some really un-oscar films – and they didn’t take the Oscars back. Similarly I had a great day on 14 Aug 1999 and some really un-good days after.
Is it okay to pick someone’s best achievement and demand that excellence every day? Please answer how you’re doing the same in your own life.
Not peaceful at all. I really think it’s a bullshit award these days. Constant drone striking, basic bitch democrat Obama is the best this country can do? Maybe but I hope not

Kissinger won after setting a bunch of infants on fire. Obama winning for nothing wasn’t the worst by a long shot.
He won for not being Bush.
That’s how terrible Bush was.
And Trump is even worse.
He was awarded and did a lot of un-peaceful things later on
