    Who is Barack Obama?
    BIOGRAPHY

    Barack Obama was born on August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. Obama


    spent his childhood between Hawaii and Indonesia, a country where
    he experienced the conditions of poverty.
    Returning to the United States in 1983, he entered Columbia University
    to study political science, and specialized in international relations.
    first step into politics in 1990 –1991
    Obama's political career began to take shape in 1990, when he
    made contact with Judson Miller, one of Harold Washington's
    advisors, who in 1983 became the first black mayor of Chicago. As
    time went by, Miller would become one of the pillars of Obama's
    electoral campaign.In 1991 he entered Harvard University
    (Cambridge, Massachusetts) to further his higher studies, and

    Obama's
    there he was elected the first black president of the Harvard Law
    Review,
    second step into politics in 1996 –2000
    His first political success came in 1996. Thanks to the sponsorship

    entry into
    of Judge Abner Mikua and Emil Jones, African-American
    Democratic leader in the Illinois Senate.Obama used his new
    position to prepare his entry into the United States Congress, where
    he aspired to replace Bobby Rush, leader of the Illinois Black

    politics
    Panthers, by attracting his electorate. The first attempt took place in
    2000 and was a strong setback in Obama's aspirations, who was
    doubled by Rush in number of votes.

    last step into politics in 2000 – 2004


    CBetween 2000 and 2004, Obama dedicated himself to strengthening his electorate.
    In 2004 he obtained new mentors in Washington, among which notable figures of
    the Democratic Party, such as John Kerry and Ted Kennedy, stood out. Thanks to
    their support and that of his electorate, he was elected national representative at the
    2004 Boston Democratic Convention.
    After prevailing on the Democratic side, the young African-American lawyer faced
    Jack Ryan, the Republican candidate, for the representation of the State of Illinois.
    On this occasion, his opponent was marred by a sexual scandal and Obama obtained
    the congressional position in dispute, thus becoming the fifth African-American to
    enter the United States Congress and the second for the Democratic Party.
    Obama took the first big step toward the presidency of
    the United States in February 2007, when he filed his
    candidacy for the Democratic Party primaries. The
    other big bet of this formation was Senator Hillary
    Clinton, wife of former President Bill Clinton, who had
    an advantage in the polls. The campaign, very tight
    throughout, ended up being decided in favor of Obama,
    who won with 1,953 delegates compared to 1,770 for his
    rival.
    The official nomination as the Democratic candidate for
    the presidency of the United States took place on June 3,
    2008. Republican John McCain, whom Obama always
    considered a simple heir to George Bush, was his rival in
    the presidential race. During the campaign, McCain tried
    to distance himself from his predecessor, but his speech
    came off as erratic and unconvincing. The Democratic
    candidate's message of renewal and hope, however,
    resonated with the electorate; Obama progressively
    widened his lead over McCain in the polls, and finally
    won the November 4 elections with 64.9% of the votes.
    thank you for thank you for
