Less than a year after taking office, U.S. President Barack Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.

The award has drawn a mixture of praise and surprise. And President Obama himself says he was surprised and humbled by the news but views the award as a call to action. More from VOA's Rob Raffaele.
