Barack Hussein Obama II is a politician from the United States, who went on to become the 44th President of the country in 2008 and is considered to be an iconic figure in world politics for becoming the first African-American person to become the US President. Obama studied at the prestigious Columbia University and then went to Harvard University to study law. After working as a lawyer and then as a law teacher at University of Chicago, Obame went into politics. He is a multi-talented man and is considered among one of the greatest orators of his generation. Obama’s rousing speeches during his presidential campaign are regarded as one of the primary reasons why he won the Democratic candidature and then the Presidential election of 2008. He served two terms as the President of the United States from 2008 and 2016, during which he accomplished a lot and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009. Obama is a man of rare talent and was often seen in public places with common Americans. He also wrote the book ‘The Audacity of Hope’ that went on to become hugely popular. Here are some of the best quotes from one of the greatest orators and world leaders of the 21st century.
Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
All too rarely do I hear people asking just what it is that we've done to make so many children's hearts so hard, or what collectively we might do to right their moral compass - what values we must live by.
