With a father from Kenya and a mother from Kansas, President Obama was born in Hawaii on
August 4th, 1961. He was raised with help from his grandfather, who served in Patton's army,
and his grandmother, who worked her way up from the secretarial pool to middle management
at a bank.
After working his way through college with the help of scholarships and student loans,
President Obama moved to Chicago, where he worked with a group of churches to help rebuild
communities devastated by the closure of local steel plants.
He went on to attend law school, where he became the first African—American president of
the Harvard Law Review. Upon graduation, he returned to Chicago to help lead a voter
registration drive, teach constitutional law at the University of Chicago, and remain active in
his community.
President Obama's years of public service are based around his unwavering belief in the
ability to unite people around a politics of purpose. In the Illinois State Senate, he passed
the first major ethics reform in 25 years, cut taxes for working families, and expanded health
care for children and their parents. As a United States Senator, he reached across the aisle to
pass groundbreaking lobbying reform, lock up the world's most dangerous weapons, and bring
transparency to government by putting federal spending online.
He was elected the 44th President of the United States on November 4, 2008, and sworn in
on January 20, 2009. He and his wife, Michelle, are the proud parents of two daughters, Malia
and Sasha.
