Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

Grman newspaper Die Welt brought it to the point by saying this:

Mit dem Friedensnobelpreis an Barack Obama hat das Wunschdenken einen nie da gewesenen Triumph über die Realitäten der Weltpolitik erzielt.

Translation:
With the peace Nobel award for Barack Obama, wishful thinking has gained a triump like none before over the realities of global politics.

Perfect summary.

The whole comment, very critical of the decision, is worth to be read:

They say the premature award will be a heavy (=counterproductive) mortage for Obama, and they call the past peace nobel awards since Perez, Rabin and Arafat a process of growing "Verkitschung" that now reaches a climax with Obama.

Die Juroren in Oslo haben sich von einer Obamania fortragen lassen, die - zum Besten der Menschheit – bereits deutlich am Verblassen war. (Die Welt) - The jurors in Oslo allowed themselves to be carried away by an Obamania that - for the best interest of mankind - already had started to fade very clearly recently.
