I wonder if they felt Obama was a good candidate for the award because of how he's trying to reach out to other countries to improve the outside views of this country and to help promote peace. He did go to many different countries, and it came across as if he had a lot of respect for those countries even before being elected President.

I honestly don't know too much about the prize, but seems most people who do receive them or are nominated for them, are people who have helped others in some way or form, although, I'm sure most of what he did was on a local level prior to his Presidency.
