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.

Seriously.... look over the list of Nobel Peace Prize winners and you'll get my point.  Nothing Obama has done puts him anywhere near anybody on that list.

...?

That seemed to be entirely unrelated to my point. I was merely saying that he had done enough to secure a nomination (along with ~200 other people). As I said earlier I also think this is a surprising choice of recipient.
