Having actually accomplished something?

I don't doubt that Mr. Obama will accomplish many things, but has he done so yet?

Should they award the Prize in Physics to a bright 16-year old who might grow up to be the next Einstein? No, it's awarded to someone who, through the lens of history, has made a significant contribution to Physics and humanity. It's supposed to be the crowning achievement of a long and glorious career, not a yearbook vote for "Most Likely to Succeed".
