[b]Barack
Obama[/b]
Barack Obama was
inaugurated as the 44th President of the
United States becoming the first African
American to serve in that office on
January 20, 2009.
The son of a white American mother and
a black Kenyan father, Obama grew up in
Hawaii. Leaving the state to attend college,
he earned degrees from Columbia University
and Harvard Law School. Obama worked as
a community organizer in Chicago, where he
met and married Michelle LaVaughn
Robinson in 1992. Their two daughters,
Malia Ann and Natasha (Sasha) were born in
1998 and 2001, respectively. Obama was
elected to the Illinois state senate in 1996
and served there for eight years. In 2004, he
was elected by a record majority to the U.S.
Senate from Illinois and, in February 2007,
announced his candidacy for President.
After winning a closely-fought contest
against New York Senator and former First
Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton for the
Democratic nomination, Obama handily
defeated Senator John McCain of Arizona,
the Republican nominee for President, in the
general election.
When President Obama took office, he
faced very significant challenges. The
economy was officially in a recession, and
the outgoing administration of George W.
Bush had begun to implement a
controversial "bail-out" package to try to
help struggling financial institutions. In
foreign affairs, the United States still had
troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan,
and warfare had broken out between Israel
and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, illustrating the
ongoing instability of the Middle East.
During his first term, President Obama
was able to work with Congress to improve
the U.S. economy, pass health-care reform,
and withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq. Still the
President spent significant time and political
effort negotiating, for the most part
unsuccessfully, with Congressional
Republicans about taxes, budgets, and the
deficit. After winning reelection in 2012,
Obama began his second term focused on
immigration reform and gun control.
However, much of the Capital's attention
was focused on "sequestration," the
automatic spending cuts that went into
effect on March 1, 2013. Although the initial
impact of sequestration was limited, Obama
warned about its long-term effects on the
economy. Agreement between the President
and Congressional Republicans to craft a
budget plan to end sequestration seemed
unlikely to materialize quickly.
