From BBC News:
Awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to US President Barack Obama in 2009 failed to achieve what the committee hoped it would, its ex-secretary has said.
Geir Lundestad told the AP news agency that the committee hoped the award would strengthen Mr Obama.
Instead, the decision was met with criticism in the US. Many argued he had not had any impact worthy of the award.

The recoil caused the Nobel "Peace Prize" to become a joke. Kind of like if "Plan 9 from Outer Space" had won an Academy Award.
