Have you ever heard of a guy named Barack Obama?
Yes! Its obvious that you have heard his name in the recent months on every news channel of thee world and finally he has been elected as the next “Most Powerful person on Earth”, who is definitely President of United States of America, but do you know him well?
Let me give you a little run down on Mr. Obama here:
Obama was born in Hawaii and is the son of a white mother and a Kenyan father. He returned to Kenya when he was 2.
He was brought up by his mother and her family, including his beloved grandmother, “Toot,” who died one day before he was elected president.
He graduated from Columbia University, went to Harvard Law School and became the first African-American president of the prestigious Harvard Law Review.
He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004, where he sits on several committees, including Foreign Relations, Homeland Security and Veterans’ Affairs.
He first catapulted to the national stage in 2004, delivering the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention.
Obama won the Democratic presidential nomination, beating Sen. Hillary Clinton in a tight primary race on June 4, 2008 and finally won the White House vacancy on November 5, 2008 beating John McCain.
Throughout his election campaign, he had the support of a number of celebs, including Oprah Winfrey, Ben Affleck, Diddy and Scarlett Johansson.
Go Obama!
