Profile – Barack Obama

         

          My name is Barack Hussein Obama an I’m fifty. I was born in August 4^th, 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. Before I be elected President of the United States I studied at Harvard Law School and Columbia University, worked as a civil rights lawyer in Chicago, served in Illinois state senate and I was elected to the U.S. Senate.

          In 2009, I took office as President of the United States (Democratic). I’m the 44^th President of U.S. and the first African American to hold the office. My main accomplishments are:

• Ended the war in Iraq, initiated a responsible drawdown of forces in Afghanistan, and ordered the operation that killed Osama bin Laden.
• Signed into law an economic plan that saved America from a depression, restored growth, and created or saved as many as 3.6 million jobs.
• Signed into law landmark health insurance reform that holds insurance companies accountable, gives people and small businesses greater control of health care, and improves the quality of health care for all Americans.
• Reformed the college loan system by ending subsidies to banks and using the money to make college more affordable.

            I am a passionate basketball fan, but also like playing golf. I enjoy reading and playing poker too, when my schedule permits.
              I’m living at The White House (Washington D.C.) with my wife, Michelle and my two doughters, Malia and Sasha.
