Obama's work since Feb 1st (some of which Eric posted above) has obviously been taken into account.

The committee "has been known not to arrive at a decision until at its very last meeting before the announcement of the Prize at the beginning of October."

But then again the link in post 9 was from the Daily Mail, and we all know how factual that particular chip wrapping is.
I feel exactly the same way about the Guardian and Independent Guinness, because if you cut them into 6 inch squares an stuck them behind the loo door it would be counter productive, they put more on than take off
