Congratulations to Obama.
Now, let me state first off that pondering on issues that are irrelevant from an Indian perspective is not something I indulge in, or have time and inclination for. The Nobel thing is a private affair that would impact India (and become worthy of my consideration ) only if the prize winner promises to donate the prize sum or part of it to India.
But it would be worthwhile to state the following:
What is obvious is that the NC has selected the US Pres based on his potential and not his performance. Yes, Obama has a lot of potential to correct many of the anti US sentiment in many parts of the world - primarily because of his origins. I can only hope that the Nobel halo will in someway ease the path for Obama to achieve his potential. Atleast, probably, some of the hawks in the US establishment bent on obstructing every move of the USP will lay off for sometime. And that would have been worth the ire against the awarding.
