Nor should this be the case, whether it's becoming common or not. Between Carter, Gore, and Obama, the award is becoming not only blatantly political in nature, but as you say, awarded for ambition over accomplishment. That's damned silly. In other words, they're giving these freakin' things out on spec now. Nobody's going to actually blame Obama for this, mind you, but it'll certainly make all those people talking about his deification look a lot saner than they did a week ago.

Any "advisor" who tries to encourage President Obama to decline the award should be immediately removed from their post. The criticism and cynicism will rain like a monsoon. Maybe they'll blame the nomination on some diabolical ACORN infiltrator. Ben, I agree with you.
