The <entity_0> was awarded to United States President <entity_4> for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people". The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced the <entity_6> on <entity_3>, citing Obama's promotion of nuclear nonproliferation and a "new climate" in international relations fostered by Obama, especially in reaching out to the Muslim world. Obama accepted the prize in <entity_7> on <entity_1>. There were 205 nominations for the <entity_1> <entity_6>, which included Chinese and Afghan civil rights activists and African politicians. The <entity_1> Committee comprised two members of the Norwegian Labor Party, one from the left-wing Socialist Left Party, one from the Conservative Party of <entity_5> and one from the right-wing Progress Party. Obama was the fourth U.S. President to be awarded the <entity_2>, after Theodore Roosevelt (1906) and Woodrow Wilson (1919)—both of whom received the <entity_6> during their terms—and Jimmy Carter (2002), who received the <entity_6> 21 years after leaving office. Goldberg added: "surely someone in Iran—or maybe the Iranian protestors generally—could have benefitted more from receiving the prize" while in CounterPunch, political journalist Alexander Cockburn said that, in historical context of other former U.S. Presidents winning the <entity_2>, the <entity_6> to Obama "represents a radical break in tradition, since he's only had slightly less than nine months to discharge his imperial duties." Lundestad said that Obama had been surprised by the <entity_6>, and considered not going to <entity_7> to accept it. Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama, Indian President Pratibha Patil and Israeli President and <entity_2> laureate Shimon Peres sent congratulatory messages to Obama, but Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki told reporters that "the decision was taken hastily and the <entity_6> was early." President Obama accepted the Nobel Peace prize in person at the <entity_7> City Hall in <entity_5> on <entity_1>.
