President Obama:

Barack Hussein Obama, the president of the united states. His father was born in Kenya Africa, his mom in Kansas, but he was born and raised in Hawaii. His grandfather and grandmother both helped in raising him. His grandfather served in Patton's army, and his grandmother worked at a bank.

After college he moved to Chicago with the help of scholarships and student loans. Here he supposedly worked with churches, by helping them rebuild. Then he went to law school where he became the first African American president of Harvard Law Review. After law school he moved back to Chicago and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago.

His first years of service were in the Illinois State Senate. As a U.S.senater he passed the first major ethics reform in 25 years, and supposedly cut taxes for working families. He served 3 terms in the Illinois Senate, from 1997 to 2004.

Obama ran for U.S. senate in 2004, and that is how he started to get national attention. He won the election, and became an U.S.senater. Then he began to run for
the presidency in February 2007. Well you obviously know that he won that.

Now he is The President of the United States,and he has been at it since November 2008. His whole election was based on change. Do you think that he is making the right changes???
