Obama says he will accept the Prize as a call to action and a source of inspiration. Well, that's why the Award was awarded prematurely--it was an award for the promises of the Administration.
Kind of like awarding a gold medal to a swimmer before he jumps in the water in the hopes that it will push and inspire him to swim faster.

It demeans the significance of the award. But what else is new in this, "You're so awesome, Good Job!!" (even if you aren't, and it wasn't) era?
