Sweeping into the office of U.S. president with his mesmerizing oratory of hope and change, Barack Obama forever transformed American politics. As the first African American to hold the title, both his election and re-election represented historic milestones, socially and politically. The 44th president’s remarkable journey from Hawaii and Indonesia to Chicago and the White House is chronicled, and the major issues that his administration has faced —including the financial crisis, healthcare, and foreign policy—are examined.
