The Nobel Peace Prize Committee in Oslo, Norway, awarded its 2009 Prize to U.S. President Barack H. Obama.

Obama is the third, in office, U.S. president to win the award.  Theodore Roosevelt received the honor in 1906 and Woodrow Wilson in 1919.  He is the fourth president overall, Jimmy Carter won in 2002.

Obama became the third African American to win the award.  In 1950, U.N. diplomat Ralph Johnson Bunche won and in 1964 Martin Luther King, Jr. received the honor.

If you’d like to honor the President at your next event, why not bring in an Obama impersonator who can entertain or mingle during a meet and greet/photo opportunity.
