Our Current President- Barack Obama




I'm still learning our current President's personality traits, but I do know that he's a strong speaker and has a great deal of charisma. He was basically a shoe-in despite his ethnicity. A lot of people feared an African American as our President, but more Americans wanted change and believed that Obama being an African American was just the start.
I think Obama has a lot to own up to in his presidency. A lot of people are counting on to 'Be The Change.' And although we may all know he's African American, has two daughters, is from Illinois, was sworn in on the same Bible used by Abraham Lincoln. We may not know a few other things. Lets take a glimpse into some unknown facts about our President Barack Obama:
-Obama’s great-uncle liberated a Nazi concentration camp.
-China Business Consultant among family members.
-His wife was assigned to be his mentor.
-Gandhi is Obama’s hero.
-Obama has said that he would like Will Smith to play Obama in a movie.
-He worked in a Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop as a teenager and now can't stand ice cream.

~Quotes~
-"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."
-"If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists - to protect them and to promote their common welfare - all else is lost."
-"It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get to where we are today, but we have just begun. Today we begin in earnest the work of making sure that the world we leave our children is just a little bit better than the one we inhabit today."
