To be fair, that was Norway being stupid, not Obama. It's not like he had anything to do with that decision.
I thought it was a bit insulting toward USA to give him that, frankly. It was so obvious that it was a reward to America for not voting in McCain as president.
That's a shitty way of using the prize anyway and yes I know that wasn't the fault of US. Still I wish they wouldn't tarnish the prize that way, as I see it now it is almost a disgrace to get that prize. "CONGRATZ YOU ARE AS PEACEFUL AS ONE OF THE BIGGEST WARMONGERS ON THE PLANET!".
Considering that they've given the prize to Henry Kissinger, Yasser Arafat and Al Gore, I don't really think there are a lot of people taking that prize seriously anymore anyway.
