     Barack Obama was born in Hawaii with a Kenyan father and an American mother. His father, Barack

Obama Sir, married his mother, Ann Dunbar, while studying at the University of Hawaii. The couple

separated two years after Obama was born. His father ultimately returned to Kenya, where he became a

noted economist. He died in a car accident in 1982.

     Obama's mother's second marriage was to an Indonesian man named Lolo Soetoro. The family moved

to Indonesia and Obama remained there until he was 10 when he moved back to Hawaii and lived with his

grandparents, while studying on a scholarship at the elite Punahou Academy.

     He has seven half-brothers and sisters in Kenya from his father's other marriages, and a half-sister,

Maya Soetoro-Ng, from his mother's second marriage.

     After finishing college in 1983, Obama worked for a New York financial consultant and a consumer

organization. He landed a job in Chicago in 1985 as an organizer for Developing Communities Project, a

church-based group seeking to improve living conditions in poor neighborhoods.

     Three years later, Obama went to Harvard Law School, where he became the first black president of

the law review. He worked as a summer associate at the Sidley Austin law firm in Chicago, where he met

his future wife. After graduation from Harvard in 1991, Obama practiced civil rights law at a small firm

in Chicago. He became a lecture in constitutional law at the University of Chicago in 1993.

     Obama won a seat in the Illiao state Senate in 1996. During this time in the legislature he worked on

welfare and ethics legislation, as well as a measure requiring electronic recording of police interrogations

and confessions in homicide investigations.

     Obama won a heavily contested US Senate seat in 2004, carrying 53 percent of the Democratic primary

vote in an eight-candidate race. He easily won the general election, In the Senate he compiled (编辑) a liberal

voting record, but was one of the few Democrats to back a measure on class-action lawsuits. He opposed

the appointment of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito to the US Supreme Court.
