The Nobel Peace Prize for Obama is a signal to him, a very large signal, to keep doing what he's doing. It's not an achievement award.

Is this something of a change for the Nobel Peace Prize? Usually it's more after-the-fact, isn't it?
- Hutch Carpenter
It's not uncommon. One notable and fairly recent example people are mentioning is Nelson Mandela, who won the Prize before apartheid ended. The Prize committee itself pointed out Gorbachev, who won the Prize as sitting head of the USSR for his work in trying to solve the problems there before it actually occurred.

Keep doing what he's doing? Making the economy worse and being favored among dictators?

Well yes Spencer, I think that's it...
