It seems that blacks in America will be as equal as whites from now on, and the world will be at peace from then on. If because he is fifty percent black, he is black; So because he is 50% white, he is also white. His father was an African immigrant, so he didn't grow up in the slums of many cities like many descendants of American slaves. He was brought up by his white grandparents when he was a child.

[Edit this paragraph] Family background

Obama's father, Obama Sr, is Kenyan, and his mother, Ann? Dunham is a white female teacher in the United States. Their marriage didn't last long. They only had one child, Obama. Later, Obama lived in Indonesia with his mother and stepfather for four years. Childhood Obama

As children, Obama and his mother ann dunham were born in Wichita, Kansas, and later moved to Hawaii with their parents. In Hawaii, Dunham and Kenyan student Barack? Obama met and got married, and gave birth to a son named Barry, now the new president Obama. This marriage didn't last long, and it ended when Obama Sr left home for further study at Harvard University. Dunham and Indonesian student Lolo later? Sutoro 1967 got married and came to Indonesia, and also brought 6-year-old Barry to Indonesia.

Obama returned to Hawaii at the age of 10 to live with his grandparents. Dunham returned to Indonesia from Sutoro with her daughter Maya. Dunham is keen on making Indonesian folk female handicrafts, such as knitting and basket weaving, and has become an expert. Maya is now a professor at the University of Hawaii. Suryakusuma recalled: "We are all mothers. We talked about how sad it is for a mother to be separated from her children, but she (Dunham) is more concerned about Barry's education."

Suryakusuma met the future senator for the first time when Obama went to Indonesia to visit his mother when he was young. She said, "Dunham is proud of him. I remember when Obama became the first editor-in-chief of Harvard Law Review with 50% black blood, Dunham was full of pride. "

After Obama's parents divorced, Obama only met his father once, and then he heard that his father died in a car accident in Kenya in 1982. Although he didn't spend much time with his father, he inherited his father's skin color and became a banner in his political career. His memoir, 1995, was first published as Father's Dream. After entering politics, Obama borrowed his father's name (Barack) and felt his father's brand in the name he was called every day.

Born in a poor village in western Kenya, Obama Sr is a cattle herder. Later, by a very accidental opportunity, he went to the United States to study, got to know Dunham and gave birth to Obama. Obama's grandmother and many relatives still live in that small village. Old Obama 1982 was buried in the village after he died in a car accident. 1992, Obama returned to his hometown for the first time and led his fiancee into the door. Old Obama's life is very complicated. While in Kenya, he married his first wife Kirzia and had two children, a son Roy and a daughter Omar.

According to Obama, my father never really left Cotzia. Dunham, however, said that Obama Sr did separate from Kirzia, but "because this marriage is a rural wedding, there is no document to prove the divorce". The Hawaiian marriage between Obama Sr and Dunham may not have been properly recorded. Obama said in his memoirs, "How and when this marriage began is still unclear. I will never have the courage to figure out some details." After Obama Sr left Dunham and his two-year-old son to study at Harvard, he and another American woman, Ruth, returned to Africa. Ruth became his third wife and gave birth to two sons in Kenya, one of whom died in a car accident. However, Obama Sr also often goes to Cotzia.

However, it is the children who grew up in such a family, but with their own "American dream", step by step towards success. ...

Growth path

Obama's life experience is complicated and bumpy, but when he grew up, he organized charity in Chicago and gradually accumulated his reputation. While studying at Harvard Law School, he became the first editor-in-chief of Harvard Law Review with 50% black descent-this position is usually regarded as a stepping stone for law students to enter the Supreme Court of the United States as a judge's secretary after graduation, but after graduation, Obama chose a small law firm specializing in civil rights litigation in Chicago.

After that, Obama chose politics and was re-elected as an Illinois senator for three times. In 2004, he stood out from the crowd at the Democratic National Congress and extended his popularity to the whole country. That year, he won the Senate election and became the fifth black (but he was only 50% black) federal senator in American history. Suryakusuma said: "You know, there is a white mother and a black father, and he has been to Indonesia, which makes him as easy to identify with all kinds of people as his mother." Some American communities see Obama as proof that integration can transcend race. William, a public policy researcher at the Brookings Institution in the United States? Galston said: "I think American voters are ready to support leaders who embody the American dream."

Larry, a professor of political science at the University of Virginia? Sabato believes that no matter what controversy exists, Obama can attract voters by publishing his life experience. Sabato said, "Americans like success stories." Suryakusuma said that she could imagine Obama's mother's "enthusiastic performance" and "how proud she would be if she knew that Barry and her children were running for president of the United States".

Election process

The American presidential election more than 200 years ago, Abraham? Lincoln can only go on a lecture tour by carriage; Seventy or eighty years ago, for victory, Franklin? Roosevelt has been able to use loudspeakers for publicity; In the Kennedy era, it became normal to speak in front of thousands of audiences on TV.

Obama campaign website home page

In the 2008 US presidential election, both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton of the Democratic Party and John McCain of the Party rushed to set up personal websites to publicize their platforms, broadcast campaign advertisements, release real-time news and collect public opinions. A senior expert in Silicon Valley commented: "Candidates who can make full use of the potential of the Internet will stand out in the presidential election." The New York Journal also recognizes this: "In 2008, the key factor that determines the outcome of the presidential election is not who knows more about politics, but who knows more about the Internet."

As the most open and democratic media form, the Internet has been deeply involved in the political affairs of election. The 47-year-old Obama, with the advantages of civilian background and complicated experience, has played the banner of "innovation" and "dream" and has become the best candidate to use Internet tools under the handsome face of sunshine. According to the data released by the US Federal Election Commission, of the $36 million donations Obama received in June this year, $28 million was raised through the Internet, and 90% of the donations were below $ 100.

Unlike the traditional model of holding campaign rallies and fund-raising dinners, most of these small donations received by Obama are spontaneous online transfers. This should be a signal. The US Congress stipulates that each person's donation to the presidential candidate should not exceed $2,300. Therefore, American presidential candidates must strive for as many donors as possible in order to overwhelm other opponents in fundraising.

As early as the primary election in the first quarter of 2007, he tried his hand. Known as a "rookie", he made a blockbuster: through the Internet, he received 654.38 million donations, twice as much as Hillary! The amount of donations also exceeded Hillary. Since then, Obama has owned an "Internet ATM". Time magazine commented: "Obama 100 may come from thousands of ordinary supporters, but the data that can't be seen on the books will be reflected in the votes in the future. People are expecting such a surprise. "

On Obama's personal campaign website (), fans can enter their own zip codes on the website to get a list of Obama's campaign information in their region, and then join groups that support Obama. "These parties have attracted great interest from the community," Loenborg said. People donate money online as soon as they go home. These people have never participated in an election campaign before. In contrast, Hillary Clinton, Obama's party rival, has set up a similar "zip code location" function on her official website to gather and develop supporters, but the effect is far less than Obama's. The reason is that Obama has entered the WEB2.0 era of the Internet. "This is the Internet age, and Obama knows that people who often surf the Internet and have time to comment online are not rich, because most rich people don't have that much time, and they won't condescend to argue with the poor," said an Obama supporter. Judging by the number of supporters, Obama will undoubtedly win. "

Before entering politics, Obama published his memoir of youth and early career: My Father's Dream. The book was published in 1995 and reprinted in 2004. The new edition added a new preface and his speech at the 2004 Democratic National Congress. The audio version of this book won the Grammy Award for Best Reading Album in 2006.

In February 2004, Obama signed a contract with three books, with a contract amount of 6.5438+0.9 million US dollars [58]. The first book, Fearless Hope, was published in June 2006 and discussed Obama's political ideas. Since its publication, this book has been the best in The New York Times's book list [60]. The second book is a children's book co-authored by Obama, his wife and two daughters. Since the publishing contract is not made public, the proceeds will be donated to charity.

Members of his campaign team also wrote some chapters to introduce Obama's views on important issues such as health care, energy and national defense security.

Obama is the president of the United States who was born in troubled times. He is young and has been in politics for a short time. Being able to run for president is a great challenge in itself, and it is a myth to be able to run successfully. In 2008, Obama wrote a myth to the United States and a myth to the world. So, what kind of America and the world will he give to everyone after he enters the White House? Let's wait and see.

At present, Chinese mainland has introduced the fearless hope of Obama.
