Barack Obama Biography

Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States of America. He became a Democratic U.S. Senator from Illinois in 2004, and has established himself as a serious candidate for President of the United States in 2008, defeating John McCain to become our nation's first African-American chief executive.
He is also a certified hunk, and a favorite of celebrities, gossip rags and hot girls who make videos on YouTube.
