It is my understanding that when Obama became senator that Michelle Obama got a raise at her job of $195,000 a year. Than she was put on the board for two other companies that netted her another $100, 000
Absolutely not. Sadly, some conservative websites have put forward this myth because snopes.com disagrees with certain anti-Obama rumors and rates them "false." But this does not mean they are pro-Obama. It means they are pro-accuracy. They have also disputed certain anti-Bush rumors. The site tries to be fair to the facts, whether the rumor is about a Democrat or a Republican. It should be noted that one of the site-owners is a registered Republican and the other is a moderate and a Canadian by birth, who has not voted in American elections. It should also be noted that studies of snopes.com by objective researchers have found them to be generally non-partisan and non-biased.

Why do people think that Barack Obama wants the US to be a communist country?
Generally , the people think Barack wants to move the country more to socialism though some of his advisers tend to have questionable pasts which would tend to make one feel he favors communism... I see what you mean. Good point.
Did Obama finish out his Senate term?
No, Barack Obama resigned from his Senate seat after being elected as President in 2008. He began his presidential term on January 20, 2009.
How is Obama a chief of state?
The proper term is "Head of State".
The Head of State of a country formally represents that country, and in many ways, can be said to be the country. In many nations, the Head of State is also the Chief Executive - that is, the Head of State is also the person in charge of the Executive branch of government. This is the case in most Representative Democracies, though there do exist a number where the Head of State is merely a ceremonial post, and has no real power. Constitutional Monarchies, however, draw a sharp line between the Chief Executive and the Head of State, with the monarch typically holding the latter position, and the Prime Minister holding the former.
The United State's government form is a Presidential system. The design the system is such that the President is considered both Head of State and Chief Executive. Thus, whomever is elected President is Head of State.
Why does Obama want to exterminate Muslims?
President Obama has no desire to rid the Earth of Muslims or of any other religion. For part of his life he was raised in a Muslim country. In turn, Muslims tend to view President Obama in a more favorable light than they have most other recent US presidents. There is considerable respect and admiration for President Obama in the Muslim world, outside the portion of Syria controlled by ISIL, and Obama in turn has promoted the understanding of Islam as a religion of peace, as did former President Bush.
Answer 2.
There is no evidence Muslims view him in any better light than his predecessor. In fact, they have less respect for him. He has shown himself weak in foreign policy, and they do not fear him. There is no proof he wants to wipe out Muslims.
Why is ms obama making history?
Michelle Obama is making history because she was the first African American First Lady of the United States. Her position as First Lady also allowed her to advocate for important issues such as education, health, and military families. Additionally, she has become a prominent and influential figure beyond her role as First Lady, making history by inspiring and empowering women and girls around the world.
Is Barack Obama's Hawaiian birth certificate currently being shown the original or a copy?
He has made the original available many times: to journalists, to the governor of Hawaii, and a scan of it has been posted to several online fact-checking websites, including Factcheck.org and Politifact.com . It is a true and valid birth certificate, and the only people who refuse to accept it are people called "Birthers," who insist he was not born in America even though there is no credible evidence to support their belief. Short answer: the president was born in Hawaii, in 1961, and his birth certificate is in fact valid.
If Barack Obama is a Christian why doesn't he celebrate Christmas?
The president DOES celebrate Christmas. He also celebrates Easter. Sadly, it is a common myth in some segments of the Conservative movement that the president is not a Christian. Some Republican politicians have also spread the myth that the president is a Muslim or he hates Christians. These statements are false. Like many young people, the president went through a time of doubting his faith. But when he got married and had kids, he decided his faith was important to him. He reads the Bible and he prays, but like some other presidents (including George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan), he does not regularly attend a church.
Sadly, there are a number of dishonest statements on various websites, and some people want to believe them, even though they are untrue. The truth is very simple: while President Obama has a foreign name, he is an American, happily married, and with two daughters. He and his wife are raising their children as Christians, but they are taught to respect all religions, since the Obamas have family members (cousins, aunts and uncles) who come from several religious traditions, including one cousin who is a rabbi.
What does Barack Obama know to speak?
Like most Americans, the president mainly speaks English. He would have studied a foreign language in college-- most likely French or Spanish. And he has said that while he learned some Indonesian during the five years he lived in that country as a boy, he no longer remembers much of it.
One answer:
To be wary of slick talking politicians. All that glitters is not gold. You get what you pay for. Be careful what you wish, for, you might get it. All these are my opinions, and reflect the damage I feel he has done to the USA.
Another answer:
That just because you come from poverty or were raised by a single parent, that doesn't mean you won't achieve or become successful in life. That no one person, no matter how good a speaker or how motivational, can change the deep polarization and corruption in Washington DC. And that part of being president is being constantly criticized no matter what you do-- and you have to be tough enough not to let it bother you. Those are my opinions, and reflect my belief that Mr. Obama has done a lot of good; he isn't perfect, but he has received little credit for any his accomplishments from his political opponents.
If Barack Obama were found not to be a citizen, the line of succession would depend on the specific circumstances and legal processes involved. If Joe Biden is determined to be the next validly elected Vice President, he would likely become the President. However, it would ultimately depend on the legal interpretation and decisions made by relevant authorities and institutions.
Is Jaylon Wright dating Malia Obama?
There is no publicly available information to suggest that Jaylon Wright is dating Malia Obama. Personal relationships of private individuals are not typically disclosed unless confirmed by the individuals involved.
Why did Obama change the name to holiday tree?
President Obama never changed the name of anything. Sounds like you overheard a rumor.
That being said, "Christmas" or Holiday trees have nothing to do with Christmas.
The tradition of decorating a tree has nothing to do with the birth of the Christ.
People have been decorating and worshiping trees ("O Christmas Tree") for centuries, dating back to the Egyptians and Romans. They adorned the trees as a form of worship. ;)
Is Barack Ben Canaan real person?
No, Barack Ben Canaan is not a real person. There is no historical or public figure by that name.
What is Obama's favorite type of music?
Barack Obama has mentioned that he enjoys a variety of music genres, including jazz, hip-hop, and R&B. He has often expressed his admiration for artists such as Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, and Beyoncé. However, he has not explicitly stated a specific favorite type of music.
What historical events did Barack Obama have?
Barack Obama's presidency was marked by several significant historical events. Some of these include the passing of the Affordable Care Act, which expanded healthcare coverage in the United States, the killing of Osama bin Laden, the first African American president in US history, the Great Recession and efforts to stimulate economic recovery, and the signing of the Paris Agreement on climate change.
What percent of president Obama's class did he graduate?
We do not know about his undergraduate ranking, but we do know about his graduate school ranking: he graduated from Harvard Law School with academic honors, in the top ten percent of his class.
Did Obama study Marxist theory?
Probably, but not in the way you have heard on conservative talk shows. Every student who studies political science or political theory is usually taught about all the various systems: capitalism, communism, socialism, etc. As a professor, I can tell you that this is not unusual. And just because someone studies a subject, that doesn't mean they agree with or believe in it. College is about being exposed to a wide range of ideas and beliefs.
I doubt that Mr. Obama took a course that was only about Marxism; based on what I have read about his studies, he never did. But I would not be surprised if he was given a reading about Marxism in with his readings about capitalism, socialism, and all the other kinds of theories. And contrary to internet myths, there is no credible evidence that Mr. Obama believes in Marxism, nor has he ever practiced it.
Whether he studied it or not, there is no doubt he spent time with communists and socialists. He called avowed communist Frank Davis "my mentor", and spent much time with Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground.
His policies have socialist leanings as well, such as Obamacare, which is European socialist style medicine. Fact checks have shown the Conservative talk shows referred to above, are much closer to the truth than liberal ones.
If Obama dies who is ninth in line of succession?
Presidential succession is dictated by the Presidential Succession Act of 1947. The act has been modified over the years to account for the addition of new Cabinet Offices such as Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and the Department of Homeland Security.

1st Vice President, Joseph Biden
