Barack Hussein Obama (born August 4, 1961) is the junior U.S. Senator from Illinois. According to the U.S. Senate Historical Office, he is the fifth African American Senator in U.S. history and the only African American serving in the U.S. Senate.[1]
After graduating from law school, Obama moved to Illinois, where he was elected to the state senate in 1996 as a Democrat. Four years later, he made an unsuccessful run for the U.S. House of Representatives. After rededicating his efforts to the state senate and winning reelection in 2002, Obama ran for an open seat in the U.S. Senate two years later. Midway through the campaign, Obama delivered the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, raising his national stature.
In November 2004, Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate. Recent opinion polls identify Obama as the second most popular choice among Democratic voters for their party's nomination in the 2008 U.S. presidential election behind New York's Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton

I need to do more research before I can tell you hard facts, but the speeches that I've heard, and the limited research that I've done makes me shake with the thought that he might be president. Beyond his 'greeness' in politics, there's something about him that scares the living daylights out of me.
I know this isn't what you're looking for, but I thought that I'd share my impression. Have a good day!

go to his website...just do a web search 'biography/ barack obama' there is a lot on him. i was curious too and was kind of shocked at how liberal he is so far as thinking, voting in congress etc. also i didn't know he had admitted to using cocaine and pot...ironic its been kept so quiet...if this had been anyone else it would have been all over the internet and they would have been asked to leave congress.

He is half black. His full name is Barack Hussein Obama Jr. He is a far left liberal who speaks very well. No chance at winning.

He's a muslim trying to fake being a Christian so he can keep getting elected by dreamy eyed dimocrats. He's a typical, power-hungrey politician that will do whatever is necessary to get elected and stay in office.

He is a hypocrite.
His voting record is the exact opposite of what he says he believes in.
Typical democrat politics.
