What is the name of the president of America, they know all over the world. Not surprisingly, for several decades this state has been a world hegemon, predetermining the trends in the cultural, political and economic development of the rest of the progressive world. The President of America is one of the most important people in world geopolitics: with his sanctions, active, silent or hidden participation, the largest military operations of our time, coups, billions of dollars, economic blockades and so on are carried out. At the same time, Barack Obama drew even more attention to his personality, which can be explained not only by his post. A century and a half after the abolition of slavery and fifty years after the mass demonstrations for the political and civil equality of blacks, in our days, the first "black" president of America appeared.
A brief biography of the first "color" president of the United States
Barack Hussein Obama was born in August 1961 in the capital of Hawaii, Honolulu. His father once came from Kenya to the United States to study economics, and remained in the country. The mother of the future politician was a white American. However, the joint life of Barak’s parents did not work out, because his father soon returned to Kenya after his birth, and his mother married an Indonesian student and a few years later left for him in his native country. At fifteen, the future president of America ends up in Indonesia, continuing his studies there. However, after four years, he returns to Hawaii. Here his school years come to an end.
After graduating from school, Obama goes to college in Los Angeles. But soon from there he transferred to Columbia University. His future president of America graduated in 1983. Barak took his first career steps in a large business corporation, working there as an editor in the financial information department. In 1985, the young man moved to Chicago. Here he participates in a social charity campaign. In 1988, the guy decides to continue his education and enters Harvard Law School. After completing his studies, he returned to Chicago and worked at one of the local law firms for nine years. In parallel, Obama is teaching law at the University of Chicago at the law school.
