Pres. Obama is the third sitting U.S. President to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize: Theodore Roosevelt won the award in 1906 and Woodrow Wilson won in 1919. In addition, former President Jimmy Carter won the award in 2002, in 1925, then-current Vice President Charles Dawes won the prize with Austen Chamberlain, and former Vice President Al Gore shared the 2007 prize with the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Obama is also the third African American to win this honor — Ralph J. Bunche was the Nobel laureate for 1950 and Martin Luther King, Jr., received the prize in 1964.
