President Barack Obama made history again Friday, winning the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”
The Norwegian Nobel Committee recognized Obama’s efforts to solve complex global problems, including working toward a world free of nuclear weapons.
Congratulations Mr. President. He is only the fourth President to receive the honor, and the last time a sitting President was awarded the prize was in 1919 when Woodward Wilson got it.
