Executive summary: President of the United States, 2009-17

Barack Obama is a multiracial American politician, though he refers to himself as African-American. He served as Democratic state senator in Illinois, and then as US Senator from that state, before being elected President in 2008.

His father was an economics student from Nairobi, his mother a white American anthropology student when they married. They divorced when Obama was young, and his father returned to Kenya. Obama was raised by his mother until about age 10, when his maternal grandmother in Honolulu took him in. He graduated with honors from Harvard Law School, where he was the first African-American to become Editor-in-Chief of theHarvard Law Review. Obama practiced civil rights law, representing victims of housing and employment discrimination and working on voting rights legislation. He worked as a community organizer in a poor Chicago neighborhood. He has spoken against NAFTA and racial profiling, and for universal health care. From the start, he opposed war in Iraq.

His campaign for Senate received an enormous boost when his opponent, Republican Jack Ryan, withdrew amid embarrassing allegations in his divorce fromStar Trek actressJeri Ryan, that during their marriage he had tried to lure her to attend sex clubs in France. Obama received another boost when he was invited to address the 2004 Democratic Party convention in prime time. In the 2008 general election, Obama became the first African-American elected to the office of President of the United States, defeating SenatorJohn McCain from Arizona by a wide margin.

In his 1995 memoir,Dreams from My Father, Obama admits that he used marijuana and cocaine as a teenager. It is thus ironic that if he were a foreign national, he would be denied admission to the United States based on his past drug use.

Obama's net worth may be as high as several million dollars.
