Barack Obama Biography

Barack Hussein Obama II was born in Hawaii on August 4th, 1961. His father, Barack Obama Sr., was born and raised in a small village in Kenya, where he grew up herding goats with his own father, who was a domestic servant to the British.

Barack’s mother, Ann Dunham, grew up in small-town Kansas. Her father worked on oil rigs during the Depression, and then signed up for World War II after Pearl Harbor, where he marched across Europe in Patton’s army. Her mother went to work on a bomber assembly line, and after the war, they studied on the G.I. Bill, bought a house through the Federal Housing Program, and moved west to Hawaii.

It was there, at the University of Hawaii, where Barack’s parents met. His mother was a student, and his father had won a scholarship that allowed him to leave Kenya and pursue his dreams in America.

Barack’s father eventually returned to Kenya, and Barack grew up with his mother in Hawaii, and for a few years in Indonesia. Later, he moved to New York, where he graduated from Columbia University in 1983.

Remembering the values of empathy and service that his mother taught him, Barack put law school and corporate life on hold after college and moved to Chicago in 1985, where he became a community organizer with a church-based group seeking to improve living conditions in poor neighborhoods plagued with crime and high unemployment.

The group had some success, but Barack had come to realize that in order to truly improve the lives of people in that community and other communities, he needed the skills that only a more professional education could offer.

He went on to earn his law degree from Harvard in 1991, where he became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. Soon after, he returned to Chicago to practice as a civil rights lawyer and teach constitutional law. Finally, his advocacy work led him to run for the Illinois State Senate, where he served for seven years.

In 2003, Barack launched his improbable race for the United States Senate. Even with many primary contenders, an imported Republican challenger and a budget six times smaller than his opponent’s, Barack won a landslide victory. Even then, he stood out alone among the major candidates, opposing the war in Iraq.

As a US Senator, Barack has continued to work on the issues that represent the ideals and aspirations of so many. He’s helped pass major measures that combat the international trafficking of nuclear weapons, promote the use of alternative fuels, and open up the budget process to greater public scrutiny. In all of these efforts, he’s brought Democrats and Republicans together for the common good.

Above all his accomplishments and experiences, Barack is most proud and grateful for his family. His wife, Michelle, and his two daughters, Malia, 8, and Sasha, 5, live on Chicago’s South Side where they attend Trinity United Church of Christ.

I feel Obama was the right choice. However, I am so sick of hearing...WHAT HAS HE DONE? My gosh, the man just got in office! Lets see..WHAT DID BUSH DO???? Our President has 4 years to straighten out a mess Bush made in 8 years. Can it be done...only by the grace of God. Get off his back! Oh and for the record.....I`m a white woman! Stop putting down our brothers and sisters of a darker color because they support our President. Color is NOT the issue people! We have come so far, yet we haven`t!

Hey, people, I respect Obama, but why do you so praise him: he`s done nothing at this moment. Let`s praise him for his real actions, bot not for NOTHING. I hope in the U.S. all will be OK, but you are so naive and trusting! People not always justify hopes. But I hope all will be OK in the U.S. God bless America!

The children of America are not those kids, they are our kids, and we will not let them fall behind in a 21st century economy. Not this time.

  • [When asked whether he would call on the Clintons to release their tax returns, after Hilary loaned $5 million of her own money to her campaign] I`ll just say that I`ve released my tax returns. That`s been a policy I`ve maintained consistently. I think the American people deserve to know where you get your income from. But I`ll leave it up to you guys to chase it down... I think we set the bar in terms of transparency and disclosure that has been a consistent theme of my campaign and my career in politics.
  • Sometimes I don`t know who I`m running against. (about Bill Clinton`s support for Hillary Clinton)

  • (from DNC keynote speech) "There`s not a liberal America and a conservative America. There`s the United States of America. We worship an awesome God in the blue states, and we don`t like federal agents poking around our libraries in the red states. We coach Little League in the blue states, and have gay friends in the red states. There are patriots who opposed the war, and patriots who supported it. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the Stars and Stripes, all of us defending the United States of America."
