Yes, I agree. My basic conlusion is that he did not deserve the award or even nomination. Obama's response, however, was, I think, the best he could have given. It is somewhat churlish to turn down the prize once offered - he could hardly refuse it, but he clearly stated that he also felt he did not really deserve it. As you say, smelling of roses.
