Less than a year after taking office, U.S. President Barack Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. The Norwegian Nobel Committee recognized the president for his work to strengthen international diplomacy -- citing in particular his effort to free the world of nuclear weapons. The award has drawn a mixture of praise and surprise. And President Obama himself says he was surprised and humbled by the news but views the award as a call to action. More from VOA's Rob Raffaele.

  • i don't think h deserved it..... Atleast not now...

  • Those who exposed secrets of china, like Dalai Lama and Mr liu , who were awarded Nobel peace prize. Contrary, when stupid Wikileaks,Julian Assange peacefully chose to expose secrets of USA and the west will then face persecution and arrest by the west. Think about the logic why. If u re clever enough, you should understand why prisoner or anyone up against their own countries will be awarded with nobel peace prize. Norwegian should grant NobelPeacePrize to Julian if to be fair!!!
