Barack Obama Qualities

Some men are born to become leaders, it is something they bring in their blood. Barack Obama was the first black president in the history of the United States. “ Barack Obama was inaugurated as the 44th President of the United States—becoming the first African American to serve in that office—on January 20, 2009. The son of a white American mother and a black Kenyan father, Obama grew up in Hawaii. Leaving the state to attend college, he earned degrees from Columbia University and Harvard Law School. Obama worked as a community organizer in Chicago, where he met and married Michelle LaVaughn Robinson in 1992. Their two daughters, Malia Ann and Natasha (Sasha) were born in 1998 and 2001, respectively. Obama was elected to the Illinois state

Obama had the vision of getting involved locally as a community organizer, which helped him relate on a more personal level. As a President his first priority was improving equal pay opportunities for women workers. Obama also had the willingness to take action. Upon taking office, the country faced a bleak financial outlook and President Obama took quick action to establish economic stability. He also helped students by taking action to reduce student loan interest rates. Obama is a man that did not wait for others to do things for him and he always has believed that in a society in which everyone worked their best their would be progress, we can't wait for others to do what we can do. “Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”(Barack Obama,

“Mr. Obama arrived at the law school in 1991 thanks to Michael W. McConnell, a conservative scholar who is now a federal appellate judge. As president of The Harvard Law Review, Mr. Obama had impressed Mr. McConnell with editing suggestions on an article; on little more than that, the law school gave him a fellowship, which amounted to an office and a computer, which he used to write his memoir, “Dreams From My Father.” The school had almost no black faculty members, a special embarrassment given its location on the South Side. Its sleek halls bordered a neighborhood crumbling with poverty and neglect. In his 2000 Congressional primary race, Representative Bobby L. Rush, a former Black Panther running for re-election, used Mr. Obama’s ties to the school to label him an egghead and an elitist.”(Obama, 1) At the school also Obama taught three courses, this was a title that belong to few federal judges and Obama being part of it shows how well he managed to get along with people and show them how good he was. Apart from this we can see how charismatic and popular Obama is by looking at his presidential career. By many Obama has been the most charismatic president the U.S. has ever had. It is very impressive when we see a speech of him that is transmitting some serious message but at the same time he gives some sort of small joke to made things not so
