What an absurd question.

By focusing on what we share in common NOT what separates us, by creating bridges and alliances with other nations in the international community, by treating every nation with respect as equal partners, by reaching across the table to work with those who oppose him, by choosing to perpetuate PEACE as the leader of the free world, by exercising tremendous RESTRAINT despite being the Commander in Chief of the most powerful nation in the world, by refusing to be drawn into war by antagonists, by choosing diplomacy and non-military means as the FIRST OPTION, by only successfully using precision military intervention as the LAST RESORT, by getting Bin Laden, by helping the people in other countries cause the CHANGE they want to see, by supporting the notion that people of these sovereign nations should be able to chart their own course without being forced against their will to do otherwise, by ending George Bush's disastrous, misguided, wasteful wars, by building a coalition of nations to address Islamic terrorism rather than the Republican preference for "going it alone", by getting Iran to give up its chemical stockpile without military intervention, by using sanctions to force that lunatic Putin to bend to international will, by representing CHANGE that forces people in other countries around the world to change their own societies for the better, by using drones to obliterate terrorist leaders, by making smart decisions which avoid putting boots on the ground and jeopardizing lives, by welcoming immigrants to this country, by representing a policy of INCLUSION, by being a man who does not discriminate against others based on any factor, and by owning the warmongering Republicans, I'd say President Obama deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.

He should have NEVER accepted it in the first place.

But, being the phony he is but, his narcissism wouldn't allow him to turn it down.

He can't give it back. He gave it away as soon as he got it.
