Both men have birthdays are in August. Both have served as U.S senators. Both ran for president. Both are interested in foreign policy. And while they are from different political parties and see many issues differently, both men love their country and are proud to serve in politics.

The obvious one, of course, is that they both are black- yes Obama is coloured, but he is still part of a BLACK family. they are both also the first black presidents of their respective countries. They both also have African roots. Another one is that both countries were at war when these presidents came into office, South Africa was at war with itself (a civil war) and the USA is still at war with the East. Mandela took over SA during a period of financial stress in SA and Obama has taken over during the world's recession.

One similarity is that they both were first black president of a certain country. Nelson was the first black president in a black country and Obama was the first black president in a white country.

In my opinion, the principal similarity is that both believed that government had the right and responsibility to ameliorate the failings of the capitalist market system.
