and that is exactly it.

I think people get the idea that the Nobel Prize is about what is already done rather than in all actuality it's about the concerted attempt at what you are trying to do.

It's not a reward, moreso a reminder to keep up the good works.

And no I don't think Obama had anything to do with this, and was probably just as shocked as everyone was when the announcement was made this morning.
