It's not his fault, but a man of integrity would have called them out for trying to give it to him when he hadn't even done anything to deserve it.

The Nobel peace prize is pretty much a joke, former recipients include a pedophile and a direct supporter of terrorism. If I were Snowden, I wouldn't want one.

Perhaps he was criticizing the Nobel committee, not the president?

It was awarded upon the rhetoric of hope he espoused, but failed to follow up with in action. But your statement is factually correct.

Many who voted for him bought into the rhetoric of change and even some "hope". He has brought things in Iraq to a close, a plus. However, domestically, he has been Bush++ and even amplified the crackdown on whistleblowers. Eric Holder, in some ways, makes John Ashcroft look quaint.

I see nothing wrong with criticizing him for being undeserving of the prize, because he is.
