Kissinger was a horrific choice. You get no quarrel from me on that. But the Obama thing was ridiculous and they should have waited longer before giving him it.

Sure, and no one was more surprised than Obama, but he was self-aware in his graceful acceptance. You should read his speech [1]

In the context of Nobel's history of controversial awards, your complaint sounds like a petty grudge against Obama.

Why wait longer was he going to become more black than he already was?

Maybe to see what he would do in his presidency? There's a thought.
