He has always been a member of the Democratic party. Objective analysis of his record as a politician shows that he is a centrist Democrat, leaning slightly right on issues such as defense, and slightly left on social issues such as gay rights.

Answer 3

Yes, lots of it. There are articles in the college newspapers where he was a student. There are testimonials from professors who had him as a student. There are photographs from various stages of his life, including his years in school. And there are the articles he wrote and edited as the head of the Harvard Law Review. Mr. Obama's educational background is actually very thoroughly documented, and some of the articles are still on line for anyone to read.
