That is a contorted way of putting things:
Obama deserves it (according to the Committe) BECAUSE the US position has improved internationally. With now a peaceful president at the helm, the prospects for world peace, have improved considerably. The Committee does not give a s..t whether WE (who are WE??) think that he deserves it, mainly because WE are NOT the Committee.
