Because the way they vote affects our lives. And if we vote based on their platform and they do not stick with those positions, it's our duty as citizens to hold their feet to the fire.

How studying political science help barack obama become president?

When President Obama was an undergraduate, he had often been interested in politics. It is not clear whether he knew back then that one day, he would become a political candidate, but he certainly wanted to learn more about America's history; and America's political history remains a large, and very important, part of the story. As it turned out, becoming more familiar with the study of politics was very useful to him: when he finally decided to become a candidate, he had a good understanding of the political process (his study of law also helped him with this). From his studies, he gained a greater insight into what worked for candidates in the past, and what mistakes a politician should avoid.
