I'm not sure what point you are trying to make, but you may be under some misapprehension about how the prizes are awarded.

The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, which is appointed by the Norwegian Parliament. They decided Obama was worthy.

The Nobel Prize in Economics (or, as everyone is fond of pointing out: "the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Science in Honor of Alfred Nobel") is awarded by the central bank of Sweden.
