Nobel Peace Prize

I must have missed something. When did the Nobel Peace Prize award someone for talking about what they wanted to do? I was inder the impression that you needed to do something in order to be considered for the Prize. When did giving speeches become a category? I swear,there has never been a person that has done less and be praised so much as President Obama. And,what's going on with the Nobel Prize comittee. There is no way President Obama has done anything to receive this award. I nominate Joe the plumber for the award next year.
