Barack Obama is Presidential material. Read his first book and you will be amazed by this guy's background.
Barack's father left the household when he was young and then he moved with his mom to Indonesia where she married her second husband. He learned the language there and in the meantime his mother was teaching him English, History before he went to the Indonesian schools. He was up at 4am with his mom studying Correspondence courses before he went to school.
He had alot of identity problems growing up with a Caucasian mom and of course being black, but, he overcome that through the years..He went to Private School while he lived with his grandparents, his mother's parents in Hawaii. He had to deal with alot of identity issues. He clung to the black population growing up which was very limited to 2-4 kids in his school. He later went to Occidental College in Las Angelas and then went to Harlem for courses at Columbia. I am still reading the book and now he is living Chicago getting the poor black neighborhood organized. Its an amazing first book, and yet this guy did not come from a wealthy background. Honestly, I want our next President to come from a background where they MADE it...Not someone given a silver spoon once they are born. I want someone who made it on their own...that is why this man, Barack is my choice as a candidate for President...very gifted, intelligent and a great leader...
