Barack obama

Barack Hussein Obama was born on August 4 (the fourth), 1961 (nineteen sixty-one) in Hawaii.

After high school, Obama studied at Occidental College in Los Angeles for two years. He then transferred to Columbia University in New York, graduating with a degree in political science.

On November 4 (the fourth), in 2008 (two thousand and eight), Obama became the first black person to be elected as President of the United States.

Some curiosities about his life are for example: * He collects Spider-Man and Conan the Barbarian comics; * He worked in a Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop as a teenager and now can’t stand ice cream; * He read all the Harry Potter books to his daughter Malia; * As a teenager he took drugs including marijuana and cocaine. According to his own words, he is not proud of it and considers it a mistake as a young man.

I will end my presentation by saying a sentence that is in his pre-campaign book, "The Audacity of Hope," where Barack Obama proclaims, "I find comfort in the fact that the longer I'm in politics the less nourishing popularity becomes, that a striving for rank and fame seems to betray a poverty of ambition, and that I am answerable mainly to the steady
