awarded the prize to Obama less than nine months into his presidency. Despite setting out an ambitious international agenda, he has yet to score any breakthrough on the Middle East or Iran's nuclear program, and faces difficult choices on the conduct of the war in Afghanistan.

In winning the award, President Obama joins Theodore Roosevelt (1906) and Woodrow Wilson (1919) and Jimmy Carter (2002).
