http://www.biography.com/search/article.do?id=12782369"United States Senator. Born August 4, 1961 in Hawaii, the son of Barack Obama, Sr., a member of Kenya's Luo tribe, and Ann Dunham. At the age of six, Obama moved with his family to Djakarta, Indonesia, after his mother remarried. Four years later, he returned to Hawaii to live with his grandparents and attend the esteemed Punahou Academy.
Obama graduated from Columbia University with a degree in political science in 1983, and moved to Chicago in 1985 to work as a community organizer in some of city’s toughest neighborhoods. In 1991, he graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School where he was the first African American editor of the Harvard Law Review.
Obama taught for many years at the University of Chicago Law School and helped organize voter registration drives during Bill Clinton’s election. He spent seven years in the Illinois state Senate, always putting working families at the top of his agenda. In 2004, he made a successful bid for the United States Senate, becoming only the third African-American elected to the Senate in more than a century. That year, he also published an autobiography, "Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance."
Obama and his wife, Michelle, live on Chicago ’s South Side with their daughters, Malia and Sasha."I see a Presidential future in this man. He's amazing. Tune in.

2. I always find it interesting who the Bio and History Channels profile and |
|
put into heavy rotation.
Funny how, even though he was an integral part of huge historic events in the 70s, 80s, 90s and now, these channels have all avoided doing a biography of John Kerry.
Did these channels' investors and stockholdres lose money when BCCI was forced to close? Fer chrissakes.
