Travels of the Obama Presidency

President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama arrive for the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony at Oslo City Hall in Norway Dec. 10, 2009. In accepting the award, the president acknowledged the skepticism about whether he deserves the prestigious recognition and the reality that he is commander in chief of a nation in the midst of two wars. "I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the considerable controversy that your generous decision has generated," he said. "In part, this is because I am at the beginning, and not the end, of my labors on the world stage." (Pool Photo/AP)
