Does Obama Deserve Nobel Peace Prize

U.S. President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize because of his healthcare reform plans.
Shortly after word of it got out, social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook users were updating their status' and tweeting.
Half of the topics on Twitter were about the Nobel Peace Prize and Obama.
On Twitter, the opinions were seperated between those who think Obama is a worthy recipient, and those who wonder how he even won the prize having only been in office not even a year yet. Many tweeters think he should refuse the prize.
If he is going to be awarded this known prize, hopefully it is for all the right reasons. I hope that in the end it won't be a mistake.

I'm with those who think he doesn't deserve it, at least not yet. I'm not sure what he has done to promote peace, except to flirt with the other countries so they are on better terms with the United States.
I think for our country he has shown how the United States is moving forward, but I don't think he personally has done anything that has deemed him worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize. Technically, he would have been nominated when he was in office for ten days, so what had he done in ten days?
