Of the many aspects of his life and reign as the 44th president of the United States, I want to be able to inform my audience of the huddles he went through becoming a president.

Race to the white house: Obama born and raised in Hawaii, went to Harvard and became a civil right lawyer, and later elected a senator in Illinois in the year 2004. In the year 2007, he made his intensions of being the US president known under the democratic party where he contended with Hillary Clinton and won most of the delegate which automatically made him represent his party for the 2008 election where he contended with Republican John McCain and won with 52.9% votes against his opponent’s 45.7 votes, which finally gave him the opportunity of becoming the 44th president of the United states.

Critics being the first black president of the United States: Obama’s election proved to most Americans what people from minority can attain in life with determination. He had his own share of racial criticism and resistance beginning from his campaign through his entire presidency. He was called all sort of names for being black as most of the Caucasians didn’t like him for being a president with color. “One very incident he was humiliated for being a black president was while he was speaking in a congress section when immediately a white republican yelled “You Lie” this was immediately when the president proposed healthcare reform would not insure undocumented immigrants” (Independent, 2017).

Accomplishments: One of Obama’s achievements was being able to pass the healthcare reform that a lot of presidents couldn’t pass for several centuries. Of all his achievement, one remarkable one was how he ended the life of Osama Bin Ladin in 2011 by ordering a special US troop to invade Osama’s secrete compound in Pakistan which eventually led to the death of the popular terrorist.
