Barack Obama Inaugural Background Information
Barack Obama is bringing a voice of change to American politics that hasnt been heard in some time. As the first African American President this Democrat is breaking down barriers left and right with the inspiration he gives others and his refreshing views on American society. Obama hit the national political scene after his speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. This keynote address, which was reserved for an up-and-comer in the Democratic Party, brought him national attention and later that year he was elected as a Senator from Chicago. During his tenure in the Senate, Obama has focused his efforts on promoting greater public accountability in the use of federal funds. He also worked on legislation concerning climate change, nuclear terrorism, lobbying and electoral fraud. In 2007 Obama announced his candidacy for President, pledging to withdraw American troops from Iraq, work towards energy independence and promote universal health care. Obama was born in Hawaii and traveled the world with his mother before settling down in Chicago as a community organizer as director of the Developing Communities Project, a church-based organization on the South Side of the city. He then moved to Boston to attend Harvard Law School where he became the first African American president of the Harvard Law Review. After graduating Harvard, Obama held a number of jobs in community organizations and penned the book "Dreams from my Father" in 1995. Obama won a seat in the Illinois Senate in 1996 and then moved to the states Senate. Obama won a seat in the U.S. Senate in 2005, and has a "loyal Democrat" rating. The National Journal found him to be the "most liberal" senator in 2007. Whatever Obamas political tendencies, his passion for change is paying off and he has been getting incredible support throughout the country. After much speculation, the nominee announced his candidacy for President in front of the Old State Capitol in Illinois, where Abraham Lincoln delivered his "house divided" speech. Obama has been out-raising his opponent, Republican John McCain, by large amounts. In the first half of 2007, he amassed $58 million. While he had a difficult primary race against Hilary Clinton, he clinched the nomination in early June and the Democrats how have a united front against McCain for November. This is a monumental time for America, and if all goes well for Obama and he is elected the first African American president, the inauguration will be all the more historic.
