Barack Obama rose from a community organizer post law degree to a remarkable president.
He highlights many of the obstacles he faced in his memoir The Promise Land, from hanging out on Hawaiian beaches, to rising to his grandmother's challenge to do something with his life, to convincing the Illinois Democratic Committee that he could win votes in the predominate Republican south Illinois communities.

You inspired me to do some research and bring back fond memories. 2004 and the speech which created a political appeal for Barack.
"There isn't a Republican America or a Democrat America, there is a United States of America.
There isn't a white America, a black America, a Latino America or an Asian America, there is the United States of America."
Hopefully in four years Kamila Harris will bring Barack's America back.
Thank you! This Trump mania is a perfect example why Penelope and I are profoundly grateful for Canadians welcoming us as residents and soon to be citizens.
