I sorta get the premature arguments...but, Nobel committees have to DO THINGS too. What he's put out there has been right, what he's acted on has been right, his language has been right and his intellect as sharp as his stage unequalled. There's been a ripple effect through consciousness-in many areas-a soothing of the edginess for many in the world. And the surprise of his election, given many think we're racists, simple, war-mongering, provincial, elitist, etc. really threw a curve at the perceptions of the USA. I mean what a guy for the moment! For example: In terms of the posturing by politicians worldwide referring to the evil empire-You can’t stir people up or win votes anymore asking to vote against the USA as opposed to for some good policy. The ripple effect, in this sense, has been multi-faceted and could go on and on and on.
In this sense, who cares about premature?
Adding this up gets you a Nobel as much deserved, accidental or even premature, as anyone’s in history.
