Over 30 years before he became the president of America, a young Obama was profiled in a New York Times article titled "First black elected to head Harvard's Law Review'. NYTimes brought out this newspaper cutout from their archives today.

  19. He already has quality of a leader from his youth age. Saw one of his interview when he said he was rehearsing in front of a mirror how he will address congress when he become president. He was not even a senator then. But ur good luck with no ambition no vision whatsoever still want us to vote for him. He even said he was caged since he's been in gorvement. Should av said that in 2011 and we would av voted for someone with vision. What a clueless fellow

  31. "He already has quality of a leader from his youth age. Saw one of his interview when he said he was rehearsing in front of a mirror how he will address congress when he become president.

Their main goal is to make sure the President fails and is remembered as a failure. And even with all the roadblocks and filibusters he has achieved in 6 years what the Bush family couldn't in 12 years! My guy dont listen to the idiot Fox news talking heads, do your own research. Of course there have been mistakes but none more than any other president, but he has done more than any other to stabilize the economy considering where we were in 2007. Remember where we were in 2007 and tell me, collectively, we are not better today! If you claim otherwise I will know, for sure, you are mindless and not objective!

  33. Hey! For me Obama is not a perfect example of being "black" or a blackman. Until someone with completely black parents ( e.g. wesley snipes) becomes US president, then we'll know that blacks have truly been integrated into the American system and dream. Not the half white, Barak Obama. Let's not fool ourselves with self- deceiving consolations.

  34. Wow. A true leader. Don't despise the days of little beginning.
