Barack Hussein Obama II ( bəˈrɑːk huːˈseɪn oʊˈbɑːmə (help·info); born August 4, 1961) is the 44th and current President of the United States, the first African American to hold the office. He served as the junior United States Senator from Illinois from January 2005 until he resigned after his election to the presidency in November 2008. 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 also 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, Obama ran for United States Senate in 2004. His victory, from a crowded field, in the March 2004 Democratic primary raised his visibility. His prime-time televised keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004 made him a rising star nationally in the Democratic Party. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in November 2004 by the largest margin in the history of Illinois. He began his run for the presidency in February 2007. After a close campaign in the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries against Hillary Rodham Clinton, he won his party's nomination, becoming the first major party African American candidate for president. In the 2008 general election, he defeated Republican nominee John McCain and was inaugurated as president on January 20, 2009. From Wikipedia under the

Asked by ispy somthin blue - Sun Oct 21 12:39:33 2007 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments A. Not very high. Democrats aren't usually hunters. The Republicans are the NRA freaks. So, the likelihood of Barak going hunting in the first place isn't very high. Answered by First Lady - Sun Oct 21 12:48:28 2007 In what ways is Barack Obama NOT like Abraham Lincoln? Have the comparisons gone too far? Q. The media is abuzz with suggestions that the great past leader from Illinois -- the "Land of Lincoln" -- is now emerging again in spirit via Barack Obama coming into power in Washington. While there may be similarities between Lincoln and Obama by comparison, this question is soliciting the contrasts that come to your mind. Is Obama already of Lincoln-esque proportions in our national conscience even before he is installed into office? What's going on? Asked by John S. - Sun Jan 18 07:11:37 2009 - - 13 Answers - 0 Comments A. The most obvious and superficial is that Lincoln was white and Obama is black. Lincoln was a Republican, Obama is a Democrat. Lincoln was born in Illinois, Obama was born in Hawaii. Lincoln served in the Illinois House of Representatives, Obama was in the Illinois Senate Lincoln served in the U.S. House of Representatives, Obama was in the U.S. Senate Lincoln had been out of the Congress for 12 years when he was elected President, Obama was a sitting Senator when he was elected. Lincoln was not on the ballot in nine states, Obama was on the ballot in all states. Lincoln did not win a majority of the popular vote for his first term (due to the fact that he was not on the ballot in nine states); Obama did. Answered by Terry A. - Sun Jan 18 07:32:38 2009 Who is looking forward to McCain wiping the floor with Barack in the debates?
Q. McCain enjoys a more of a "town hall" setting for debates...enjoys when the people get a chance to throw questions at the canidates, and would like to have as many as possible. Barack is trying to limit debates and the content of them. Why do you think that is? McCain is going to clean up, that's why! Thoughts?
