United States President Barack Obama received this year’s Nobel Peace Prize “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples…He has created a new international climate… We are awarding Obama for what he has done. Many other people and leaders and nations have to respond in a positive way,” the annual awards committee announced Friday in a statement.
This acknowledgement stems directly from the peace talks he is facilitating in the Middle East. What a great accomplishment for President Obama…just add it to his list!!
The only other U.S. Presidents to be given the honor of the Nobel Peace Prize were Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Jimmy Carter (after he left office).
According to the White House, President Obama is deeply humbled by the award.
