He Born in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1961 to a Kenyan father and an American mother, Obama was raised by his grandparents. He graduated from Columbia University in 1983 and Harvard Law School in 1991.

He then went into politics, winning a seat in the Illinois state legislature in 1996.

In 2004, Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate from Illinois, and his star rose rapidly in the Democratic Party. In 2008, he campaigned for president as a progressive reformer, promising to make government more transparent and reduce the influence of money in politics. He won the election and was sworn in as President in 2009.
