Hello readers !
Today our teacher has proposed to write an article about a person who has won a nobel price, so, I have decided to write about Barack Obama, the winner of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.
I am writing about Obama because I think he is very important in the history of the United States and also of the whole world. He is a man who has fought realy hard to be president of USA, because a lot of people has judged him because he is a black person. Here you have a little biography about him, and the reason why he won the Nobel Prize.
Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is the 44th and current President of the United States, the first African American to hold the office; and The reason of why he was given the Nobel Peace Prize is this:
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 primary, his keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July, and his election to the Senate in November.
He began his presidential campaign in 2007, and in 2008, after a close primary campaign against Hillary Rodham Clinton, 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.
Later, nine months after his election, Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.
Well, this is all for today, I hope you have enjoyed it !
