奥巴马1961年8月4日出生在美国夏威夷檀香山,父亲是来自肯尼亚的留学生,母亲

是堪萨斯州白人,两人在就读夏威夷大学期间相识。由于父亲此后前往哈佛大学求学,奥巴

马从小由母亲抚养。奥巴马两岁多时,父母婚姻破裂。6岁时,奥巴马随母亲和继父前往印

度尼西亚生活。

4年后,奥巴马回到夏威夷。中学毕业后,他进入加利福尼亚州西方学院学习,后转入

位于纽约的哥伦比亚大学,1983年毕业。1985年,奥巴马来到芝加哥,从事社区工

作。1988年,他进入哈佛大学法学院深造,还成为院刊《哈佛法律评论》首位非洲裔负

责人。1991年在获得哈佛大学法学博士学位后,他返回芝加哥,成为一名律师,并在芝

加哥大学法学院教授宪法。

1997年,奥巴马进入政坛,当选伊利诺伊州参议员,并连任8年。2000年,

他竞选联邦众议员,但没有成功。尽管如此,他已在全国政坛崭露头角,并应邀在2004

年民主党全国代表大会上发表主题演讲。同年11月,他在国会选举中当选伊利诺伊州联邦

参议员。

在担任联邦参议员期间,他参与起草了有关控制常规武器的议案,推动加强公众监督

联邦基金使用,并支持有关院外游说、选举欺诈、气候变化和核恐怖主义等问题的一系列议

案。他还先后出访了东欧、中东和非洲一些国家。

2007年2月,奥巴马正式宣布竞选总统。他在竞选中以“变革”为主题,强调结束

伊拉克战争、实现能源自给、停止减税政策和普及医疗保险等,并承诺实现党派团结、在国

际上重建同盟关系、恢复美国领导地位。

2008年初民主党总统预选启动后,奥巴马一度落后于竞争对手、纽约州联邦参议

员希拉里,但在2月5日“超级星期二”后逐渐赶超,并保持领先地位,直至6月3日预选结

束。8月27日,奥巴马在民主党全国代表大会上获得总统候选人提名。

奥巴马1992年与米歇尔·罗宾森结婚,育有两个女儿。

Obama's CV

BARACK OBAMA WAS DRAWN TO BASKETBALL AS A KID, AND HE HAS

NEVER LET IT GO. He would play for hours on the courts behind his grandparents' apartment in

Hawaii, and in 1979 was a member of the Punahou school's state championship team. "At least on

the basketball court I could find a community of sorts, with an inner life all its own," he wrote in

his memoir, "Dreams From My Father."

Through hoops he acquired some of the swagger that he later carried into politics. Harvard Law

School professor Charles Ogletree Jr. recalls first meeting Obama on the court at Harvard's

Hemenway Gym. He was a fierce trash talker, Ogletree says, with an awkward-looking

left-handed jump shot. One of Obama's ball mates was actor Hill Harper (known as Frank in law

school), who later played a high school basketball player in Spike Lee's "He Got Game."

Even on the campaign trail, Obama tries to squeeze in some hoops. His personal aide, Reggie

Love, played for Duke's 2001 national championship team. "There is nothing worse than losing

to Barack Obama," Love, 25, told the Chicago Tribune. "You never hear the end of it." Obama,

46, has rarely suffered from a lack of confidence -- whether on the court or in the pursuit of public

office. In 1996, he sought the Illinois state Senate seat of Alice Palmer, who was running for

Congress and who endorsed him. But when her congressional bid sagged, she decided she wanted

to keep her seat and asked Obama to move aside. Not only did he decline, but he challenged the

legality of her nominating petitions and those of other candidates, ultimately knocking them all off

the Democratic primary ballot。

Ambition got the better of Obama in 2000, however, when he unwisely challenged Rep. Bobby L.

Rush (D-Ill.), a former Black Panther with a 70 percent approval rating. He was drubbed. But four

years later, he ran for the U.S. Senate and won easily.

Abner Mikva, a former federal judge and an Obama mentor, says Obama consults

with others but doesn't necessarily feel constrained by what he hears. "That is the

interesting thing about Barack," he says. "He doesn't come to you for advice -- what

should I do? He comes to you with an idea and asks you to critique it." Take, for

example, the question of whether to run for president as a rookie U.S. senator. "I don't

think he spent much time with people who told him not to do it," Mikva says.
