As one article mentioned, nominations for the prize close on Feb 1,
just 12 days after the President took office. Perhaps someday he will
have a record deserving of the prize, but right now anyone with at
least half a brain, supporter or not, must be thinking "Huh?"...

He's the American president and he's not George W. Bush. That
should be enough right there. And just because nominations
close on February 1st doesn't mean the selection committee
has to sequester themselves in isolation chambers between
February 1st and the selection voting.
