The Nobel Prize committee stated that the reasons for their surprising selection was Obama's "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." They also referred to fostering understanding among the Muslim nations and his work for global nuclear disarmament.
Considering that Obama had only been president for two weeks before being nominated, and the only actual accomplishments has been making speeches, apologizing (ad nauseam) for the evil US, bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia and appeasing every dictator and despot in the world. And as far as nuclear disarmament... the only country that might disarm thanks to Obama's efforts is US!
Of course only liberals win the peace prize and Obama is the most left-leaning (lurching?) president to ever be elected in the US. That might have influenced the decision. But it is more likely that the primary reason Obama was selected (same as Al Gore and Jimmy Carter) was because HE IS NOT BUSH.
