Barack Obama moved to Chicago, Illinois in the mid 1980s to work as a community organizer and advocate for the poor. He married a woman from Chicago (Michelle Robinson, today Michelle Obama) and their two daughters were born in Chicago. Mr. Obama taught law at the University of Chicago Law School, and in 1996, was elected to the Illinois State Senate, where he served three terms. He then became a U.S. senator from Illinois prior to being elected president. So Mr. Obama has many ties to Illinois.
