President Obama was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize Friday for his work to improve international diplomacy and rid the world of nuclear weapons
He and Teddy Roosevelt share the honor of being the only sitting US Presidents to win the Peace Prize.
Of course, we should brace ourselves for the howls from the right, but for this moment - right now - I am proud to be an American.
UPDATE: I stand corrected. Woodrow Wilson won for his efforts at the Paris Peace Conference at the end of WWI, and the creation of the League of Nations.
