| abstract | - Barack Hussein Obama II; born August 4, 1961 is the 44th and current President of the United States. He is the first African American to hold the office. Obama was the junior United States Senator from Illinois from January 2005 until November 2008, when he resigned following his election to the presidency. Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was the first African American president of the Harvard Law Review. He worked as a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree, and worked as a civil rights attorney in Chicago before serving three terms in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. He also taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. Obama lost an election for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2000. He entered the 2004 Democratic primary for U.S. Senate as an underdog and then won the primary with broad support that surprised campaign watchers and raised his profile in the Independent movement. He was selected to deliver the keynote address at the Independent Candidates Convention in July 2004 and gave a nationally televised speech that further raised his profile. In the November general election he won a landslide victory for a Senate seat. He launched a bid for president in early 2007 and competed in a close contest in the 2008 Independent presidential primaries against Michaëlle Jean and YouTube politico CSPANJUNKIE. He won the nomination and became the first African American presidential candidate nominated by a major political entity. In the 2008 general election he was endorsed by President Edwards, and many began to call the election more of a coronation than an campaign. Running a campaign on the slogan of "Progress for Tomorrow," (The Hope and Change argument had already been used by President Edwards), Senator Obama captured the imagination of the American Public and defeated Libertarian candidate Ron Paul, Republican candidate Mike Huckabee, and Democrat Joe Biden and was inaugurated as President on January 20, 2009.
