Who Is Barack Obama?

                                                

Who is this Barack Obama and how did he gain so much attention as a Presidential candidate as a first term senator? Barack Obama has inspired millions of Americans and along with Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, sparked a new political revolution in American politics. With his inspirational speeches, his talk of change and the break from traditional politics that he represents, Barack Obama has become the epitome of a successful American politician. The son of a Kenyan man and white woman, Barack Obama represents a new brand of politics and the progression of our nation.  A graduate of Columbia University and the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, Obama has an astounding record and is highly qualified to fulfill the nations highest office. A former Illinois state senator from the inner city of Chicago, Obama has risen from humble beginnings to one of the most respected people in the United States today. Not only has his Presidential campaign revived a weak American political interest, he is equally part of the most diverse and distinct Presidential race in the history of our country. While he has had his struggles during the campaign with the Reverend Jeremiah Wright controversy, Obama has shown both great strength and perseverance as his success continues resiliently.
