Obama on the merit of “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”\nSee family photos of Obama and his daughters\nIn reaction to his selection, Obama delivered a humility-laden acceptance speech in the White House Rose Garden. “I am both surprised and deeply humbled by the decision of the Nobel Committee,” he said. “Let me be clear: I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American\nleadership\non behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations.”\nSeemingly addressing critics who question the Nobel committee’s decision to honor him so early in his presidency, Obama told reporters that he views the prize less as a reward for his recent accomplishments and more as recognition of achievements yet to come.\n“I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many transformative figures that have been honored by this prize,” he stated. “I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations to confront the challenges of the 21st century.”\nObama: What I Want for Every Child in America\nAbout the author","attrs_markdown":"[Skip to main

The Nobel committee, a five-member group appointed by the Norwegian parliament to pick worthy candidates for awards in the fields of literature, medicine, physics, chemistry, economics and [peace](https://parade.com/1303881/michelle-parkerton/peace-quotes/), selected Pres. Obama on the merit of “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.” [See family photos of Obama and his daughters](http://parade.com/news/slideshows/politics/barack-obama-on-fatherhood.html) In reaction to his selection, Obama delivered a humility-laden acceptance speech in the White House Rose Garden. “I am both surprised and deeply humbled by the decision of the Nobel Committee,” he said. “Let me be clear: I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American [leadership](https://parade.com/1145646/marynliles/leadership-quotes/) on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations.” Seemingly addressing critics who question the Nobel committee’s decision to honor him so early in his presidency, Obama told reporters that he views the prize less as a reward for his recent accomplishments and more as recognition of achievements yet to come. “I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many transformative figures that have been honored by this prize,” he stated. “I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations to confront the challenges of the 21st century.” [Obama: What I Want for Every Child in America](http://parade.com/news/2009/01/barack-obama-letter-to-my-daughters.html) ## About the author ![](https://parade.com/.image/w_3840,q_auto:good,c_fill,ar_1:1/MTkwNTc1ODgwMDM2MDk5MTk3/e90bfc9b61bed91be9f18721bbce9343-s-600-d-mm-r-g.jpg?arena_f_auto) ## [Parade](https://parade.com/author/parade) Start the Conversation Trending Stories 01 TV [‘Outlander’ Author Diana Gabaldon Dissects the Second Episode of Season 8](https://parade.com/tv/outlander-diana-gabaldon-season-8-episode-2-wedding-baby-bear-attack-interview-spoilers) Paulette Cohn 02 Entertainment [20 Years Ago, ‘King of Queens’ Star Pulled an On-Camera Prank That Actually Aired on TV](https://parade.com/entertainment/20-years-ago-king-of-queens-star-pulled-an-on-camera-prank-that-actually-aired-on-tv) Victoria Miller 03 TV [Bill and Nathan Go Up Against a Power Company in the Penultimate Episode of 'When Calls the Heart'](https://parade.com/tv/when-calls-the-heart-season-13-episode-11-preview-trials-and-tribulations) K.L.

Readable Markdown	Early on [Friday](https://parade.com/934975/parade/friday-quotes/), President [Barack Obama](https://parade.com/celebrities/barack-obama-net-worth) and his family received [the news](http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091009/ap_on_re_eu/eu_nobel_peace) that he’d been awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace, making him the third sitting president in U.S history to be given the award.
