Barack Obama The <strong>Gateway</strong> <strong>Chronicle</strong> Barack Hussein Obama II was the first African American President of the United States of America from the 20 th January 2009 – 20 th January 2017, holding the office for two terms. He was elected the 44 th President of the USA on the 4 th November 2008. Barack Obama was born on the 4 th August 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii. He lived in various places growing up, including Indonesia, Los Angeles and New York, before moving to Chicago at the age of 23, where he worked with churches to help communities that were affected by the closure of some local steel plants. He then attended Harvard Law School and became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. While at law school he met his future wife, Michelle. people. He cut the black healthcare uninsured rate by a third, freed hundreds of black prisoners and called for the closure of private prisons. He did many other things to help black people, but when his presidency ended, race relations in the United States of America were not much better than when he started. In fact, you could say that racism was on the increase, as the American people voted for Donald Trump as the next president, who could be argued to have done very little for black people living in America. This shows that Barack Obama’s attempts at making America more diverse, and even his attempts at making the country fair, did not work, as a new, highly controversial president was about to arrive: Donald Trump. Matthew May 1.3 Obama is a member of the Democratic Party and previously was Illinois State Senator. While president, he passed many acts, including the Affordable Care Act (a significant regulatory overhaul of the USA’s healthcare coverage which meant more people had access to healthcare, including more ethnic minorities); the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (which included an increase in consumer protection which helped the general public); and the Tax, Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 (which kept income tax rates lower and raised welfare payments such as unemployment benefit). He increased troop levels in Afghanistan, ended military involvement in Iraq (and then started it again in 2014 after the rise of ISIS) and attempted to reduce the number of nuclear weapons in the USA and Russia. In 2013, he became President again, and won against Mitt Romney, another presidential candidate. Barack Obama also called for gun control after a fatal shooting in Sandy Hook Elementary School. He developed policies on global warming, immigration and cybersecurity, and interfered in other wars such as the Syrian Civil War. He also ordered the death of Osama Bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda. His presidency finally ended in 2017, with the election of the Republican candidate, Donald Trump. Barack Obama was a role model for lots of African Americans, especially as he was the first African American president. He therefore showed that people of all races could be leaders, not just white Above: Barack Obama speaking in public during his presidency, R 80
