The Nobel Peace Prize committee demoted chairman Thorbjoern Jagland on Tuesday.

The Oslo, Norway-based committee gave no reason for downgrading the former Norwegian prime minister and respected diplomat from his perch.

At the same time, as German media conglomerate Deutsche Welle observes, Jagland was widely condemned in 2009 when his committee bestowed the prestigious award on then-newly elected President Barack Obama.

Jagland, 64, was serving his first year as Peace Prize chairman when his committee conferred the international award upon Obama for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”

The committee announced that Obama would receive the award in October 2009, just over eight months after he became president.

the word "fawning" was used to describe the award going to Barack Obama who had done nothing, ...but talk.
