I don't see what the big deal about the entire nomination thing is. It was only the nomination, the prize itself wasn't decided on those two weeks.

I believe by that point he had already signed the executive order on Guantanamo Bay which is enough for a nomination in any case.

Except closing Guantanamo Bay was entirely symbolic, the United States is still going to hold terrorists without trial for an indefinite amount of time and will continue to interrogate people using the same techniques they used for the past decade.
