It's all a stage play.
As for the Nobel Prize, all the nominations had to be in by February, and then nominations were closed.
By Feb, Obama had just barely even taken office.
And he'd certainly done nothing to affect "world peace" before that anyway.
Not that he's done anything since, either.
Maybe it had something to do with those trillions he gave to the international banks in the bailouts, with no questions asked and no oversight?
And, as you point out, what makes Blair "worthy" of anything, either?
It's all getting very transparent now, eh?
