WASHINGTON — President Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples," a stunning honor that came less than nine months after he made United States history by becoming the country's first African-American president.The award, announced in Oslo by the Nobel Committee while much of official Washington — including the president — was still asleep, cited in particular the president's efforts to rid the world of nuclear weapons.
"He has created a new international climate," the committee said.
