President Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize
President Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize today on the grounds of his “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”
Obama –who has promised to place diplomacy ahead of disagreements and reached out to a cynical world with offers of common understanding – is only the third sitting U.S. president to win the Nobel Prize for Peace.
President Theodore Roosevelt won the award in 1906, and President Woodrow Wilson in 1919.
Obama was nominated for the prize after less than nine months in his term in office as the President of USA

Barack Obama for me is the most charismatic president to be ever elected. He also makes great decisions, for example in the ecomomic stimulus package to counter the effects of recession.
