Well, no, it doesn't work that way, they do take into account what he has done since then... Legolas Send a noteboard - 09/10/2009 03:41:45 PM
It's not like the nomination has any real importance or is a cut-off date after which they don't look at the new actions anymore or so.

Not that that changes much about the absurdity of the prize - he hasn't exactly done much that's deserving of a Nobel Prize, not even made some modest progress in the Israel/Palestine peace process. And as for his policy towards Iran, way too easy to tell, and it's unlikely to be a permanent improvement. Honestly, they've not only made themselves look silly with this, but also Obama, as well as kind of implicitly insulting him, suggesting he's realized as much as he's going to.
