Best Answer

He was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. He lived in Hawaii, moved to Indonesia from ages 6 to 10, then back to live with his grandparents when he was 10 in Hawaii. He went to college at Columbia College within Columbia University in New York. He got his JD at Harvard Law in Massachusetts. After that, he moved to Chicago and lived there until he won the Presidency and moved into the White House in Washington, DC.

So, you might say he is from Hawaii where he was born and spent much of his youth. Or you might say Chicago since that is where he spent most of his time as an adult until the Presidency, and where he married, bought a house and started a family.
He was born in Hawaii in 1961, and other than spending a couple of years [7] in Indonesia with his mother and step-father, he has lived in the United States: in Hawaii, [California,] Massachusetts, Illinois, and Washington DC.

Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. He went to grade school in Indonesia and junior high/high school in Hawaii. But he lived in a number of places (Los Angeles, New York City, Cambridge MA) before finally settling in Chicago, Illinois.

After spending his first few years in Honolulu, from ages 6 to 10 he lived in Indonesia with his mom and step-dad; but his mom was not happy with the schools there, so he moved back to Hawaii and finished high school, living with his grandparents on his mother's side.

He attended Occidental College in Los Angeles for a year before moving on to New York City to attend Columbia University. He later earned a law degree from Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

He moved to Chicago in the mid 1980s, when he got a job there as a community organizer and advocate for the poor. As a US Senator, he represented the state of Illinois. He now resides in Washington, D.C. as the President of the United States.

President Obama was born in the United States (Hawaii) and is thus a natural-born citizen. Except for spending four years in Indonesia with his mom and step-dad, he has lived in the United States all his life. Do not believe the many internet rumors by a group called the Birthers. The president is, and always has been, an American.
