Obama should decline Nobel Peace Prize

I heard about Obama getting a Nobel Peace Prize this morning while at breakfast with some friends. I didn't believe them. Apparently it is true. The AP story says even the White House (the adminstration) was shocked by the move.
Here is a link to the story.

I think the best thing Obama could do today, would be to graciously decline the award.
The prize has become a political gift. An award to play political games with, and that is all this is.
Obama may do great things in his presidency, but his first term has just started. (I dont see the pubs beating him in his run for a second.)
Still, this certainly lowers the prize's prestige.
He just hasnt done anything yet. He hasnt even delivered on health care yet, and he has not got us out of iraq and afghanistan yet. Doesnt sound like peace prize material to me.
Its just using the prize to score political points. Even in giving the award, the committee acknowledged that his plans have not come to fruition yet concerning foreign policy. About the only thing he has done - and it wasn't him - was that the U.S. image abroad improved when it got elected.
Anyone can call for a reduction in nuclear arms. Hey everybody, lets reduce our nuclear arms. See, I just did it. :)
He should reject the prize because he has not earned it.
Of course, he could do so in a gracious way. If he did that, I would call him a great president and my respect for him and the office would grow a lot.
Doubt it will happen, but ... we shall see.
