Made history as the,

First BLACK MAN to preside over the WHITE HOUSE

Barack Hussein Obama II born August 4, 1961

Is an American retired politician who served as

the 44th president of the United States from 2009 to 2017.

A member of the Democratic Party, Obama was

The first African-American president of the United States.

He previously served as a U.S. senator from Illinois from 2005 to 2008

And as an Illinois state senator from 1997 to 2004,

And previously worked;

As a civil rights lawyer before entering politics.

Made us proud, loved by all (most)

Humble, kind, considerate and gentle, yet firm

Grateful tears filled his eyes

When elected for a second term

With wife MICHELLE by his side

Lending a steadying hand

He was encouraged in his strength

Trusted by all, without discrimination (mostly)

He tried his best, his hands were tied

As was every other president

Not totally free to do what they really wanted

He got a fight, it was expected

But one can only do their best

With the lot that they are imparted

The uncommonest and rarest of them all.
