There are reports now, basing on a Norwegian newspaper, that there has been bitter debate in the committee, with three of the five jurors having been against the prize awareded to Obama. But it was pushed by one member of the socialist party, suported by the fifth guy who also is member of that party. In the end, they stubbornly pushed it through.
Strange math.
Information on internal processes of the Nobel committees are said to be extremely rare. That it became known now may be a hint at the scale of the conflict behind the stage curtain.
Meanwhile a rumour appeared that Obama next year will be given the Nobel prize for literature, because he certainly will write a book one day and it is very likely to become a big success.
If universities only could agree on giving him some honory doctorates, nobel prizes for chemistry, physics, medicine and economics are in reach for Obama, too.
