To award it based on what someone says before they were tested was not a smart move.
He should have been noted as someone to watch as a candidate for a future peace prize.

After his presidency was over and could be evaluated would be the proper time to consider it.
If at that time he lived up to his peace rhetoric there would be plenty of time to award him the peace prize.
