President Barack Hussein Obama is the 44th and current President of the United States. He is the first African American to hold the office, as well as the first president born in Hawaii. Obama previously served as the junior United States Senator from Illinois from January 2005 until he resigned after his election to the presidency in November 2008.

Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was the president of the Harvard Law Review. He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree. He worked as a civil rights attorney in Chicago and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004.

Obama served three terms in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. Following an unsuccessful bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2000, he ran for United States Senate in 2004. During the campaign, several events brought him to national attention, such as his victory in the March 2004 Democratic primary election for the United States Senator from Illinois as well as his prime-time televised keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004. He won election to the U.S. Senate in November 2004.

Obama is funny when he insults my intelligence.

Obama... you fucked up really good with the war on Afghanistan... I don't want to listen to your bullshit anymore... :(

COP15 is a 'member's only club' for the wealthiest high-society elites; corrupt globalists who pull the strings, the very bankster scum guilty of the majority of heinous crimes against nature and humanity.

When there is nothing left for these criminals to rape and pillage, profits alone shall not stave off hunger.

The day of reckoning is at hand, decadence and evil deeds against humanity shall not go unpunished! Occupy Copenhagen NOW!

Remove these elitist liars from the seat of global power NOW!

Chavez is right , capitalism will destroy the humanity. Obama is a puppet of the system.

Killing and steeling is as old as mankind, yet this doesnt make it a good thing to do! US americans killed the Indianans just as the Spanish did. Spain learned something and stopped colonialism, imperialism and has a social gov today, yet the USA keeps on killing and looting the planet! Open your eyes amigo! USA is an empire, not a democracy!

[Fishstix9000]

America stole half of Mexico? Who did the spainards take Mexico from? The Indians. Land has been conquered all throughout history by different nations different tribes and you want to blame America for one more land grab? Mexicans are just as guilty as Americans if thats the way you see it.

Is it just me or was his speech hollow?
