Barack Obama

The Life and Times of Barack Obama

The person I would like to talk about today is President Elect Barack Obama. I have chosen to talk about him because he is inspiring. He inspired me and maybe other children to run for president someday. He is the first African-American to run for president, and be successful. Obama is sending the message that, yes, we can do what we believe in.

Barack Hussein Obama Jr. was born on August 4.1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. From age six to age twelve, Barack lived in Indonesia. Obama ‘s inspiration is his father. Even though he grew up without a dad he thinks that he will learn from that and be a better father for his daughters, Malia and Sasha. When going to college, Obama got a degree, from Occidental college with international relations. In 1988, he attended Harvard Law School and earned his law degree.

Later on, Barack Obama became Senator Barack Obama for the state of Illinois. After that, Barack ran for president, and he won! A few of Obama’s supporters are Operah Winfrey, George Clooney, Macy Gray, Halle Berry and Hillary Clinton. A lot of his supporters were young people Hillary Clinton will be our secretary of state. One of Barack’s biggest blessing is his family. Michelle, wife, Malia, daughter, Sasha, daughter. Hopefully, Obama will live much longer and our world will be full of hope.
