Biography - Barack Obama (2007)


* How have Obama's travels from Hawaii to Indonesia to the Senate affected his life?
* What chance does he have in the 2008 Presidential election?
* What led Obama to a landslide victory in the 2004 Illinois Senate race?

From teaching to organizing voter registration drives, Barak Obama has been active in the political and legal landscape. During his seven years in the Illinois state Senate, working families have been his top priority.

In February 2007, Obama announced his decision to run in the 2008 Presidential election, but he was making news long before. After he was the first African-American editor of the Harvard Law Review, he became a best-selling author and the third African-American ever elected to Senate. With the chance to become the first African-American President, Obama continues to blur racial lines and boundaries.

Hear about the experiences that shaped this unique individual in an upbringing that moved him from Hawaii to Indonesia to working as a community organizer in the toughest neighborhoods of Chicago. See what sets Obama apart from his Democratic opponents in the 2008 primaries and what attributes may seat him in the White House.
