The Odd Barack Obama
Smashing through the country’s “colour line”, Barack Hussein Obama was elected as 44th president of the United States, a position that will vest unparalleled global power in the son of a Kenyan father and a white American mother.
Against all odds Barack Obama has done something that no one expected in their lifetime. So there is hope for those who have been struggling for years with some kind of problems. Those who were thinking that there’s no hope for them,be of good cheer.
Barack Obam is the first African American to be elected President of the United States, and was the first to be nominated for President by a major U.S. political party. He was born Aug. 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii. His father, Barack Obama, Sr., was born of Luo ethnicity in Nyanza Province, Kenya. He grew up herding goats with his own father, who was a domestic servant to the British. Although reared among Muslims, Obama, Sr., became an atheist at some point.
Some of his famous quotes.
- Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
- If you’re walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you’ll make progress.
- I’ve got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.
