    Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is an American politician who served as the 44th president of the United States from 2009 to 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, he was the first African-American president in U.S. history. Obama previously served as a U.S. senator representing Illinois from 2005 to 2008 and as an Illinois state senator from 1997 to 2004.

    Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. He graduated from Columbia University in 1983 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science and later worked as a community organizer in Chicago. In 1988, Obama enrolled in Harvard Law School, where he was the first black president of the Harvard Law Review. He became a civil rights attorney and an academic, teaching constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. In 1996, Obama was elected to represent the 13th district in the Illinois Senate, a position he held until 2004, when he successfully ran for the U.S. Senate. In the 2008 presidential election, after a close primary campai

    Barack Obama: The Story

    April 24, 2014
    The title of David Maraniss' well-researched tome doesn't reveal all that much about its contents. As he mentions in the introduction, we won't be seeing our Obama (aka Barry, aka POTUS 44) until chapter seven of this eighteen-chapter volume, and the narration stops with his departure for Harvard Law in 1988. So, this is some pretty deep background; as it is described in various summaries, a multi-generational epic.



    Two points about yours truly before I proceed- I have not read Dreams from My Father, and (by pure coincidence, as far as I know) happened to be concurrently reading Mistakes Were Made (but not by me) while working my way through this biography. Why am I telling you these things? The first is relevant because Maraniss' book is, in many ways, a narrative fact-checking of Obama's memoir. While this biography definitely stands on its own, Maraniss' findings are frequently compared and contrasted to Obama's earlier narrative, which meant very little to me as I have not read it. I bring up my simultaneous literature choice due to its influence on my own thoughts regarding the nature of memory, and narratives as reflections of "truth." I believe in facts and fact-checking, and believe them to be important. However, I the cognitive mechanisms of things like "source confusion" were salient for me as I read. Onward ho!

    Roots:
    Obama's parents were quite a pair. They were, spoiler alert, not of the same race, place or, well, a lot of things. Neither parent played a constant role in Obama's life, but this was emphatically so with Barack Obama Sr. who was, by most measures, not really a "father" to the future president at all (they basically met once, in 1971). As it turns out, this may have been for the best given the senior Obama's track record for bigamy, irresponsibility, alcoholism and reckless driving, which would end his life in 1982.

    • BARACK OBAMA, “REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT AT A MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR THE VICTIMS OF THE SHOOTING IN TUCSON, ARIZONA” (12 JANUARY 2001)

    [1] Thank you.  (Applause.)  Thank you very much.  Please, please be seated.  (Applause.)

    [2] To the families of those we’ve lost; to all who called them friends; to the students of this university, the public servants who are gathered here, the people of Tucson and the people of Arizona:  I have come here tonight as an American who, like all Americans, kneels to pray with you today and will stand by you tomorrow.  (Applause.)

    [3] There is nothing I can say that will fill the sudden hole torn in your hearts.  But know this:  The hopes of a nation are here tonight.  We mourn with you for the fallen.  We join you in your grief.  And we add our faith to yours that Representative Gabrielle Giffords and the other living victims of this tragedy will pull through.  (Applause.)

    [4] Scripture tells us:

    There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
    the holy place where the Most High dwells.
    God is within her, she will not fall;
    God will help her at break of day.

    [5] On Saturday morning, Gabby, her staff and many of her constituents gathered outside a supermarket to exercise their right to peaceful assembly and free speech.  (Applause.)  They were fulfilling a central tenet of the democracy envisioned by our founders –- representatives of the people answering questions to their constituents, so as to carry their concerns back to our nation’s capital.  Gabby called it “Congress on Your Corner” -– just an updated version of government of and by and for the people.  (Applause.)

    [6] And that quintessentially American scene, that was the scene that was shattered by a gunman’s bullets.  And the six people who lost their lives on Saturday –- they, too, represented what is best in us, what is best in America.  (Applause.)

    [7] Judge John Roll served our legal system for nearly 40 years. (Applause.)  A graduate of this university a
