Which of the following American presidents has not won the internationally renowned Nobel Peace Prize, handed out annually in Oslo, Norway?
  1. John Kennedy
  2. Barack Obama
  3. Theodore Roosevelt
  4. Woodrow Wilson
Explanation
Answer: A - John Kennedy never won the Nobel Peace Prize. Theodore Roosevelt was the first American president to win the award when he received the recognition in 1906 for mediating the end of the Russo-Japanese War. Woodrow Wilson received the recognition in 1919 for his pivotal role in creating the League of Nations (which, ironically, the United States did not join). Barack Obama won less than a year into his presidency, in a controversial recognition for his commitment to diplomacy and international cooperation. Many viewed the award as more of a rebuke against the Bush presidency and its uninhibited use of military force abroad.
