Family: Barack Obama was born to a Kenyan father and a white American

mother. His father, Barack Obama Sr., married his mother, Ann Dunham,

while studying at the University of Hawaii. The couple separated two

years after Obama was born. His father ultimately returned to Kenya,

where he became a noted economist. He died in a car accident in 1982.

Obama's mother's second marriage was to an Indonesian man named Lolo

Soetoro. The family moved to Indonesia and Obama remained there until he

was 10 when he moved back to Hawaii and lived with his grandparents

while studying on a scholarship at the elite Punahou Academy.

Career: After finishing college in 1983, Obama worked for a New York

financial consultancy and a consumer organization. He landed a job in

Chicago in 1985 as an organizer for Developing Communities Project, a

church-based group seeking to improve living conditions in poor

neighborhoods. <../../../../../Hum-Our-Tum/join>

 

Three years later, Obama left to go to Harvard Law School, where he

became the first black president of the law review. He worked as a

summer associate at the Sidley Austin law firm in Chicago, where he met

his future wife. After graduation from Harvard in 1991, Obama practiced

civil rights law at a small firm in Chicago, then became a lecturer in

constitutional law at the University of Chicago in 1993.

Obama won a heavily contested U.S. Senate seat in 2004, carrying 53

percent of the Democratic primary vote in an eight-candidate race. He

easily won the general election as well. In the U.S. Senate he compiled

a liberal voting record, but was one of the few Democrats to back a

measure on class-action lawsuits. He opposed the appointment of Chief

Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Hillary Clinton was initially seen as the front-runner for the

Democratic nomination, Obama quickly showed an ability to raise large

amounts of money and draw record-breaking crowds who were attracted to

his rhetorical skill, his opposition to the Iraq war, and his promise to

move beyond the divisive politics of the past 40 years.

Obama won the first contest of the Democratic primary in Iowa in January

2008, but did not clinch the nomination until the last states had cast

their ballots in June. During the protracted battle with Clinton, Obama

had to explain away a disparaging comment about rural voters and

distance himself from a former preacher's incendiary remarks. His

campaign developed new ways to mobilize voters through the Internet.

After accepting the Democratic nomination in Denver in August, Obama

faced Republican John McCain in the general election. McCain initially

led in opinion polls after he picked Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his

running mate, but his support eroded amid a souring economy and concern

about Palin's qualifications. <../../../../../Hum-Our-Tum/join>
