Yes, this particular week made the announcement of the award very odd.
He's become a powerful symbol to many, regardless of what's been completed.
In that sense I could see the award as being representative of a concept than an individual.
Like I said, I'm glad Obama sees it as a call to action rather than accolades for things already accomplished. A directive. Maybe even a warning to stay the course.
