44. BARACK HUSEIN OBAMA
Barack H. Obama is the 44th President of the United States.
His story is the American story
— values from
the heartland, a middle-class upbringing in a strong family,
hard work and education as the means of getting ahead, and the
conviction that a life so blessed should be lived in service to
others.
With a father from Kenya and a mother from Kansas, President
Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. He was raised with
help from his grandfather, who served in Patton's army, and his
grandmother, who worked her way up from the secretarial pool to
middle management at a bank.
After working his way through college with the help of
scholarships and student loans, President Obama moved to
Chicago, where he worked with a group of churches to help
rebuild communities devastated by the closure of local steel
plants.
He went on to attend law school, where he became the first
African —American
president of the Harvard Law Review. Upon graduation, he
returned to Chicago to help lead a voter registration drive,
teach constitutional law at the University of Chicago, and
remain active in his community.
President Obama's years of public service are based around
his unwavering belief in the ability to unite people around a
politics of purpose. In the Illinois State Senate, he passed the
first major ethics reform in 25 years, cut taxes for working
families, and expanded health care for children and their
parents. As a United States Senator, he reached across the aisle
to pass groundbreaking lobbying reform, lock up the world's most
dangerous weapons, and bring transparency to government by
putting federal spending online.
He was elected the 44th President of the United States on
November 4, 2008, and sworn in on January 20, 2009. He and his
wife, Michelle, are the proud parents of two daughters, Malia,
10, and Sasha, 7.
