Barack Hussein Obama II ( / b ə ˈ r ɑː k h uː ˈ s eɪ n oʊ ˈ b ɑː m ə /; born August 4, 1961) is the 44th and current President of the United States. He is the first African American to hold the office. Obama previously served as the junior United States Senator from Illinois, from January 2005 until he resigned after his election to the presidency in November 2008. A native of Honolulu, Hawaii, Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was the president of the Harvard Law Review. He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree. He worked as a civil rights attorney in Chicago and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. Obama served three terms in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. Following an unsuccessful bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2000, he ran for United States Senate in 2004. Several events brought him to national attention during the campaign, including his victory in the March 2004 Democratic primary and his prime-time televised keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004. He won election to the U.S. Senate in November 2004. His presidential campaign began in February 2007, and after a close campaign in the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries against Hillary Rodham Clinton, he won his party's nomination. In the 2008 general election, he defeated Republican nominee John McCain and was inaugurated as president on January 20, 2009. As president, Obama signed economic stimulus legislation in the form of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in February 2009. On October 8, 2009, Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate. In March 2010, he signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law, bringing about comprehensive health care reform. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Can Obama and Hillary work together after the primaries are finished? Q. Even if both candidates are still competing for the nomination? Let the fight then go underground, and Hillary and Obama should unite to go after McCain together. This will force McCain to compete against two candidates, and force the repub attack machine to try and go after two candidates, greatly undermining both. Having two democrats competing for the nomination up until the convention could be turned into an asset, instead of a negative. Hillary and Obama working together would unite the party, and a reasonable solution could be agreed upon by the time of the convention. Are we in this to win?

Answered by Whatever - Wed Mar 5 12:43:47 2008 Is Obama really going to make teens do 50+ Hours of community service a year? Q. I skimmed through debates on why and why not Obama/Mccain should be president. Somewhere I read Obama will make Middle/High School Students do 50+ hours of community service a year. Is this true or false? Sounds like a retarded idea too me. Some kids, more as of lately, do not have time to waste volunteering.

Q. America has come so far in regards to racism, but Obama's preist Rev. Wrong constantly preached hate..How was Obama able to get elected with such a radical association??? Are voters in America that stupid? Asked by Jerry Hammer - Tue Jun 8 20:37:53 2010 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments A. Not stupid, just gullible, because people listened to his cheer leading campaign, and did not look up the truth for them selves. And they are still being blinded by what obama is doing. But more and more people are waking up to the truth, so lets hope it is enough to get him out next election.
