Barack H. Obama

Hi readers, this time I have done an article about Barack Obama and why he received the Nobel Prize Peace award. Before this work we had to do another work about the winners of all the Nobel prizes from the year 1995 to the year 2014, and them alone we had to choose one of the winners and make an individual project about them.

I've chosen the category of peace because I think that peace is the cornerstone for a better world, and I've chosen Barack Obama because I think that he is an honest person

Biography:

Barack Hussein Obama born August 4, 1961 is the 44th and current president of the United States, and the first African America to hold the office. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Obama is a

graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law school, where he served as president of the Harvard Law review. He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree. He worked as a civil rights attorney and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago law school from 1992 to 2004.

In 2004, Obama received national attention during his campaign to represent Illinois in the United States Senate with his victory in the March democratic party primaries. He began his presidential campaign in 2007 and, after a close primary campaign against Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2008, he won sufficient delegates in the Democratic Party primaries to receive the presidential nomination. He then defeated Republican nominee John McCain in the general election, and was inaugurated as president on January 20, 2009. Nine months after his election, Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate. (Wikipedia Barack Obama)

Why did Barack Obama receive this prize?

Barack Obama has been awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomatic processes and cooperation among people.

Opinion:
I think that Obama deserved the award for the great work he did in 2008-2009 but nowadays he is one of the most controversial presidents of the world and therefore I think they should take him away the award.

He is one of the most controversial presidents because he takes part in the wars of Siria, Afganistán and Irak. This wars are provocating more than 750.000 deaths.
