Was Barack Obama involved for Acorn?
Yes and no. He worked for three different organizations in Chicago as a community organizer and advocate for the poor. One was Project Vote, and another was a group run by the Catholic Church. A third was run by ACORN. It should be noted that back then, the organization known as ACORN was considered no more and no less disreputable than any other group that helped the poor. It was much later when certain conservative talk shows decided to focus on ACORN as an example of something negative. But at the time, all of the groups Mr. Obama worked for were considered typical of groups that helped poor residents of Chicago with issues like finding housing, educational opportunities, job training, and legal aid.

What is Barack Obama manifesto?
I am not sure he has an official "manifesto," since in our world of internet and instant media, candidates need to react to changing political circumstances at a moment's notice. Thus, presidents in the modern age tend to promote their positions through their website, by going on radio or TV, and being interviewed in print publications and web magazines. President Obama is a centrist Democrat, and many of his stated positions are in line with those of his party.
For example, he has stated that some of his priorities include continuing to move the economy forward to get more people back to work; expanding access to affordable health care; fixing the tax code so that everyone (including the wealthy) pays their fair share; making sure our infrastructure is modernized, etc. The best place to find the president's officially stated positions on issues is at his website. I enclose the link.

What does Obama name mean in Cherokee?
There is no evidence that the word "Obama" exists in Cherokee. For one thing, the sound of the letter M is not an original sound in Cherokee and was added to the language much later. But on the other hand, Cherokee is a living language, and it adds new words or borrows them, as all living languages do. No doubt the name "Obama" was added when he was running for president back in 2007-2008. And the chances are that "Obama" is just treated as a last name, with no particular meaning, since it is not a word that is native to the Cherokee language.

First, it is false to say that "nobody remembers him." This assertion is based on an internet myth, promoted by the president's political opponents, and especially by people like Donald Trump; but there is no truth to it. Many people who knew the president at both Columbia and Harvard have been interviewed, and Mr. Obama was also written up in the alumni magazines of both colleges. Further, at Harvard, he was the editor of the Law Review, so we have his written work, plus his college adviser has spoken about what kind of student he was. When people claim "nobody knew him," they are being intentionally dishonest.

Obama wants to tax higher income people, while giving the middle income tax payers a break. Too bad both parties can't get it together. We can't keep spending money and not collect taxes.

Of course being involved in two major military confrontations and several other minor confrontations with the military budget we have is also insane.

Barack Obama transferred from Occidental College to Columbia University in 1981 because he wanted to pursue a different academic environment and be closer to urban life.

Transferring to Columbia allowed him to study political science and international relations, which aligned with his interests and future career goals.
Why did Barack Obama's father dislike colonization?
I think you are asking about "colonialism." Many people whose countries were taken over by England, France, Belgium, Spain, or other European powers, had very mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, the colonial powers modernized and improved the infrastructure and education in some third-world countries. But the problem was that these colonial powers often regarded the residents of their colonies (most of whom were from black or brown races) as inferior, treated them like servants, and rarely allowed them to move up in society or make decisions about their governance.
For example, people from British colonies like India and Kenya were very ambivalent, or even negative, about colonial rule: they felt the British treated them with contempt while plundering their countries' natural resources and giving the colonists little ability to decide the destiny of their own country. Barack Obama Senior was pleased with the education he received in Kenya under the British system, but some sources say he was not happy about the limitations of colonialism. That said, not all sources agree that Barack Senior was anti-colonialism. This is a theory put forward by certain conservative Republicans, who claim President Obama inherited his father's hatred of colonialism. Since the president barely knew his father, and since it is not entirely clear that his father hated colonialism, the theory is not very credible.
What school did Barack Obama attend and when was he graduated and where?

Barack Obama's specialty is in public speaking and communication. He is known for his eloquence, charisma, and ability to connect with audiences. Additionally, he has a background in constitutional law.

I'm Commander in Chief so let's be clear,
Debating? Man, that's SO last year!
I've got real issues on my plate...

There's a lot at stake, a lot it'll take
to gain and maintain the country's faith.
people now call me the media king
cause cameras are always pointed at me,
but I wanna focus on other things, like a remedy for the economy
but I ain't stressed, I'll get this locked...
I'll iron it out like wrinked socks.

I knew the tasks ahead were huge, but I stay calm
although i juggle more responsibilities than Octo-Mom

But everone's attention goes on one time you make one bad joke.
And then all their attention goes on how you grey and how it shows
on your wife's arms in sleeveless clothes...
Get over it, that's how we roll!
This is how I'll break it down on how some people treat me now.
It's like I'm on Americam Idol and everyone is Simon Cowell.
I'm always judged depending how the Dow is either up or down.
But it just jumped 500 points, so tell me how you like me now.

So called " Czars " don't have to be investigated or pass a background check the way traditional appointments do. They are answerable only to the President. So far , at least one has been eliminated due to his past dubious associations.That would be Van Jones .
