Yes of course. He was born in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1961. But there is some confusion because his father, who has the same name, was not born in the US. Barack Obama Senior was born in Africa (Kenya). Barack Obama the president was born in the USA.
Barack Obama, the president, was really born in Hawaii, as has been documented repeatedly. His father, who had the same name, was born in Kenya, but moved to Hawaii to attend college.
Same place as everyone else's - on file at the colleges he attended.
No. President Barack Obama was born in Hawaii. He moved to Chicago in the mid-1980s, after graduating from college, and he lived in Chicago before he was elected President of the United States. There is sometimes some (understandable) confusion about Mr. Obama because his father, Barack Obama Senior, was born in Africa and the two have the same name. But Barack Obama Senior (the president's dad) came to Hawaii to study: he got married while a student at the University of Hawaii, and his son Barack Obama II (the president) was born in Honolulu in 1961.
We frequently get asked this question because Barack Obama and Barack Obama's dad share the same name. Barack Obama II (the president) has no sons; he and his wife Michelle have two daughters. But his biological father, Barack Obama (Senior) had at least five sons, who were born in Kenya; and he also had one very famous son who was born in the USA, in Hawaii in 1961. That son, Barack II, grew up to be president. It should be noted that there are internet myths which claim President Obama has a "secret son." He does not.
Barack Obama's wife Michelle is not from Africa. She was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois and is American by birth, just like the president (who was born in Hawaii). Barack Obama's father, who had the same name as his son the future president, came from Kenya, but he too married an American-- the president's mother, Ann, was born and raised in Kansas.
In a way, yes. There is some confusion about this, because Barack Obama's dad had the same name as the president. So, there was Barack Obama Senior (now deceased) and his son, Barack Obama II, who is the president.
more of the same
The same of the US, Barack Obama
no they are not the same.
He was born in Hawaii, which had become a state in 1959. Mr. Obama was born in 1961. He spent the first five years of his life in Hawaii, then spent the next five in Indonesia with his mom and new step-dad, after which he returned to Hawaii to finish middle school and high school.
It would be the same as in English.
