Re: OMGods !! Obama...
They're postmarked at this time, noted if you will, as a possible candidate. There were multiple people postmarked on this date as potential winners. A "watch list" of sorts. If they then see in the remaining time that he demonstrates the stuff he's been talking about, they give him the award.
As far as why they gave it to him, the article just told us. "Extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples". I also think it's great that he views it as a "call to action" as opposed to "I'm done now". I really feel he needed this, after all the downplaying and sometimes even ridiculing that certain people do of his diplomatic actions and aspirations.
