>giving Obama the peace price after he failed to shut down Guantanamo That is a weird way to put it, considering that nominations for the peace prize closed just 11 days after Obama took office, and the prize was awarded 9 months later. It's more reasonable to say that prize was given to Obama based on his campaign promises, before he even had any actual chance to close Guantanamo. (Which he still hasn't done, because obviously it is much easier to talk about it in a campaign than to really create a sustainable policy for what to do with the detainees.)
