Barak Hussien Tawakkol

Obama Liu Xiao Bo Karmen
 Biography :
Barak Obama
Born on August 4, 1961, in
Honolulu, Hawaii, Barack
Obama is the 44th and current
president of the United
States. He was a civil-rights
lawyer and teacher before
pursuing a political career. He
was elected to the Illinois
State Senate in 1996, serving
from 1997 to 2004. He was
elected to the U.S. presidency
in 2008, and won re-election in
2012 against Republican
challenger Mitt Romney.
President Obama continues to
enact policy changes in
response to the issues of
health care and economic
crisis.
Why did he deserve this Prize?
 According to the Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo, President Obama
won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for his "extraordinary efforts to
strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples". 
There were 205 nominated candidates for the position. The selection was
handled by a bipartisan committee with 1 representative each from the
"far left," the "far right," and the "Conservative" parties, and 2 from the
dominant "Labour Party." 

The final winner was announced on October 9 2009, just 4 days after the
5 representatives had finally reached uniform consensus, and only eight
and a half months after Obama's inauguration as president of the United
States. 
According to Nobel Committee chairman Thorbjoern Jagland, "He got the
prize because he has been able to change the international climate... Some
people say, and I understand it, isn't it premature? Too early? Well, I'd say
then that it could be too late to respond three years from now. It is now
that we have the opportunity to respond - all of us." 

Jagland highlighted that the Committee was especially influenced by a

speech Obama gave to reach out to the Muslim world in Cairo in June
2009, as well as the president's efforts to prevent nuclear proliferation and
climate change, and Obama's support for using established international
bodies such as the United Nations to pursue foreign policy goals.
