That's not a peace prize...

It's a noble prize in literature. My point being the committee gives out awards all the time to people who probably are less qualified than others.

He got the award in 2009 and I don't recall Obama personally bombing hospitals.

He did care about science and technology and did encourage a ton of youth to follow STEM degrees. The totally number of STEM graduates per year more than doubled over the course of the Obama presidency

Was Clock Boy an example of this?

Obama was the first president to ever visit an Indian reservation. He went to Standing Rock ironically.

Normalizing relations with Cuba. Should have happened long ago, but previous presidents lacked political courage and didn't want to alienate Cuban-American voters in a swing state. Watch Cuba now become more free and capitalistic.

Obamacare. Yeah, it isn't very good. But it was an important first step.

I'm kind of stumped, to be honest.
His Iran Seal was the best thing he did, but we'll have to see how stable the deal actually is. If Trump is able to ruin it in his first term then it's wasn't such a great deal.

Inauguration day on his first term was the peak. After that my dislike started with the Guantanamo failure and snowballed from there. Now that he's leaving I like him again.

Obama does love "science."

An important first step toward taxing the middle class, raising the middle class's monthly premiums, and getting the federal govt more involved in your health care.
