The article that I read is called “Obama’s Nobel Prize: Opinion Context” from The Washington Post. This article talks about the recent Nobel Prize that the President of United States just got because of his efforts to make stronger the international diplomacy and cooperation between people.

This article also talks about the approval rating of Obama on issues with a range of 50-55% which is below the average of all presidents since War World II. It points out the international perspective that the president has and it also compares it with the ex President George Bush, giving Obama 67% of people who say they have respect for him against a 24% who say they have respect for Bush. Towards the end, the article points out how the approval of the U.S. has increased internationally.

I personally think this article is interesting because we have a lot of data in it, which compares both presidents the Republican George Bush and the Democrat Barack Obama, giving us more specific information about what people think about them, or what they did right, they did not take care enough or how they change the way the country looks around the world.

I believe it’s a good thing that Barack Omaba has received such an important award as the Nobel Peace Prize because it gives the United States another view. If such an important country has a Nobel Peace Prize president that means that people will trust him more, which could end up in better international relationships hence better trade and economy.
