Sadat and Begin shared the Peace Prize for Sadat's visit to Jerusalem. Arguably Sadat, Begin, and Carter should have gotten it for the Camp David Accords instead but supposedly Carter wasn't nominated in time to be eligible. When he finally did receive it in 2002 it was more as a slap at GWB than an endorsement of anything Carter had done--just like awarding the prize to Obama was.

Both Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson received the peace prize--TR for helping to end the Russo-Japananese War. I'm not sure if WW's was for the Fourteen Points, his role at the Peace Conference (that may have happened too late for the 1919 prize) or his efforts to turn WWI into a "war to end war." TR and WW are both questionable recipients but not as much as JEC or BHO.

I think in recent history, Obama gets the prize for being awarded The Nobel for lack of any accomplishments at all. Second place would have to go to Al Gore for pulling the biggest scam in recent memory and calling it proved science. For that he gets a peace prize?
