Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. His father, Barack Obama, Sr. was from Kenya. Barack Obama, Sr. later married Ann Dunham from Kansas. When Barack, Jr was 2 years old his dad left the family to attend Harvard University. His dad and mom later separated and divorced. Barack Obama moved to Indonesia with his mother and step father then back to Hawaii to live with his grandmother in 1971.


Barack Obama graduated an honors student from Punahou Academy. He was a good basketball player in school. To continue with his life, Obama attended Harvard University School of Law. A few years later, he met his spouse, Michelle Robinson. They got married and moved to southern Illinois. They had two daughters, Natasha and Malia. In 2008, he was elected president and was re-elected in 2012.


Obama is considered a hero to me because he provided a lot of opportunities. People are getting more jobs. The healthcare plan has been succeeding in America for the past four years. Everybody has something to rely on if they have an emergency or get sick. He fights his hardest to keep America in good shape.


George Bush was a great president too but there was a lot of mess and clutter. It was God's will for a good man to step in the oval office and clean up that mess. Obama has been and always will be that good man who cleaned up Bush's mess. Finally. It was God's will again for Obama to serve a second term. Barack Obama will stick his philosophy which is "CHANGE".
