Barack Obama

Barack Hussein Obama II. He is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was the first African American to serve as president of the Harvard Law Review. Obama worked as a community organizer and practiced as a civil rights attorney before serving three terms in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. He is the first african american candidate for president that has made it to presidental nominee. His plans as president are for choice on abortion. Leaving from the "Iraq War" and a plan for free heathcare. He shows compation for the poorer man by lowering taxes for everyone that makes less then $500,000 a year and increasing big bussiness owners and the richer people who can afford it. With Barack Obama running many people who would normally never go to vote actually are encouraged enough, and yes it is because he is african american. In opposition though there are people who will NOT vote for him because he is african american. There is still disgusting racism in america but hopefully that will not be what decides this election.
