Weak Signal's description: 

The Nobel Prize committee wanted to contribute to enhancing that kind of international policy and attitude which Obama claimed to stand for. So the award reflected the enormous hopes invested in Mr. Obama, both in the U.S. and abroad, since he entered the White House, and the occasionally unrealistic expectations that his presidency could change the face of international diplomacy.
