Because America is one of the world's super-powers, every American president has an effect on the world in some way. Barack Obama is no exception. The policies he and his administration promote will often affect other countries. On a more personal level, as America's first black president, he has become a role model for many young people. He is also very popular overseas, especially in much of Europe and in various parts of Africa.

Who was Barack Obama's best man?
Interestingly, Barack Obama is still friends with many of the same people he became friendly with while he lived in Chicago for more than two decades. He is friendly with Valerie Jarrett, Reggie Love, Marty Nesbitt, and David Alexrod, and of course, he considers his wife Michelle a close friend. Mr. Obama also has a number of celebrity friends from the world of sports, music, and movies; but it is his Chicago friends that he spends time with whenever possible.
Was Barack Obama's name Barry?
Please note that the second answer comes from a "Birther"-- someone who believes President Obama was not born in the US and is not eligible to be president. In the interest of accuracy, whether or not you like or voted for Barack Obama, there is NO evidence he was adopted by his step-father, and NO evidence Mr. Obama ever changed his name, legally or otherwise. There is considerable evidence that in high school, he used the nickname Barry, rather than Barack, but he was always Barack Obama, contrary to Birther claims.
Second answer (with my comments in brackets):
Obama was adopted by his stepfather, which changed his name to Barry Soetoro. This is the name reflected on his Indonesian school records, as well as; his high school yearbook. By Obama's own admission he changed his name back in 1982. [Note: Mr Obama never "admitted" this; also, his high school yearbook refers to him as Barry Obama. And no, he was never legally adopted.]
This has generated new claims of Obama's deceptive nature, for it appears that his selective service record reflects the name Barrack H Obama. Other than the misspelling of his own name, he claims to have registered in 1979 after high school graduation while living in Hawaii. However, registration was not available in 1979, and the misspelled registration shows Sept 1980. This is the time he maintains he was attending Occidental when he was actually a resident of Los Angeles. [These are common Birther conspiracy theories. Mr. Obama was in fact enrolled at Occidental, he has no false selective service record, and Time magazine featured Mr. Obama in a 1980 story, when he was in fact studying at Occidental.]
This presents a dilemma in regards to the fact that failure to register was, and still is a serious felony. However, falsifying such a registration by using anything but his lawful name compounds that crime in in multiple ways. [There was NO falsification. Just another frequently debunked conspiracy theory.]
Failure to register would have made him ineligible for his financial aid in college, which would be a third criminal felony of defrauding the federal government. [He defrauded no-one. He paid for college with loans and scholarships, and with help from his grand-parents. And it is a myth that he was registered as a foreign student.]
Unfortunately there are no records that would validate or invalidate when or even if he reverted back to his birth name, for he continues to block access to all records that would clarify the answer, even his kindergarten records or blocked by Obama's legal dream team. [Nothing has been "blocked" nor has anything been "sealed." NO president is under any obligation to make confidential documents like school transcripts or medical records available to the public, and many presidents have kept those documents private. Doing so does not mean the person has anything to hide. That said, there are MANY examples that prove conclusively that Mr. Obama never changed his name, never had a false name, is not foreign-born, and is in fact eligible to be president. These facts have been repeatedly verified, by CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, and yes, even Fox News. Sadly, some people do not want to accept this. But that does not make their conspiracy theories true.]
What are Barack Obama's allergies?
The only ones that I know of are pollen and ragweed. If there are more, I don't know sorry... The only ones that I know of are pollen and ragweed. If there are more, I don't know sorry...
Has Barack Obama committed a crime?
Yes. He has acknowledged that during his high school years, and into his first year or two of college, he was involved with drug use-- mostly marijuana, although he did try cocaine several times (but didn't like it). Fortunately for him, he was not caught, since at that time, possession and use of marijuana was much more of a criminal offense than it is today.
What kind of guy is Barack Obama?
You know, I do. I really do. There are some things I don't agree with that he says, but other than that, I believe in him
Does the airforce have ground troops?
They have a small number of Commandos.
The Air Force has Security Forces, or vehicles and soldiers for guarding their own bases - these are ground troops.
Reconaissance: Air Force has AFSOC and SERE for Special Forces, these troops operate on land, sea, and air to designate ground and sea targets for air force weapons, as well as disrupt enemy operations behind enemy lines.
Regular ground troops also exist in divisions as back up for regular airstrike/missile attacks, as well as for search and rescue in case aircraft from the Air Force or other divisions are stranded or shot down.
So yes, the air force has plenty of ground troops for their own operation, their primary emphasis, however, is making sure America is defended against attacks from air and space, as well as from computer hacking.
What did people think about Obama?
According to several surveys conducted in September and October of 2012, most European countries have a very favorable impression of Mr. Obama; they may not agree with his every decision, but they much prefer him to his predecessor, President Bush, who was perceived as someone whose style was to "talk tough" and to act in an ethnocentric way. Mr. Obama is perceived as someone who believes in diplomacy and who has a greater understanding of world events. The countries where Mr. Obama does not make such a positive impression are Pakistan, Iran, and Israel.
When is Barack Obama coming to Chicago?
Barack Obama, the president, was born in Hawaii. His father, Barack Sr. is the one who moved to America from Kenya, around 1960. Barack Sr. studied at the University of Hawaii, and met Ann Dunham, a fellow student. They married, and their son Barack II was born in Honolulu on August 4, 1961.
yes it is. sarans are jat its fact ,there arelots of people use the words sra, sran but the both are same things , srans are jatt
Sarans were said to be found cheifly around Gurdaspur and Sialkot regions of United Punjab. The Sarai/Saran are said to be a well known clan.
They were known as Sultanis in these districts and were followers of Sakhi Sarwars a Sufi mystic. They are also said to be a branch of the Sindhu/Sandhu tribe. According to Mackenzie, they have a holy reputation and retain an uncut lock on the crown of their heads. Even amongst Muslims Saran/Sarai families they do not cut their hair as they see it as a sign of nobility.
The Sarai were said to avoid Tobacco more then other clans, and heads of the family were known for never rising regardless of who entered in their midst.
According to Hoshiar Singh Duleh, Akali Phoola Singh, the great Sikh general of Sukkerchakia(Maharaja Ranjit Singh's kingdom) is a Saran Jatt.
A disciple of Baba Nanak(Guru Nanak Dev ji) had a saying for the Sarai/Saran:
"Sikh Sarai dono bhai, Baba Nanak putt banai"
translation:
The Sikhs and the Sarai's are both brothers, Baba Nanak made them his sons.
Most Saran/Sarai converted from Sufism to Sikhism during Guru Nanak Dev ji's times, and present day Saran is a small yet prosperous and respected clan in the Malwa belt of east Punjab. Today this clan has its highest prominence in Faridkot dist. of Punjab, they are very strong landlords here. They were numbered at around 36, 000 in a 1881 census.

What Barack Obama is important?
u loser grow up and get a life
Getting himself elected is what he considers most important.
President Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961.
When Was Obama issued a social security number?
Obama has hundreds of social security numbers. Check out defendourfreedoms.com and check it out yourself. The matter has been brought to the attention of the attorney general but no word on anything yet.
He has not released that information; it should be noted that few presidents have made such scores public.
From the information that is available, we know (or can surmise) the following:
- The average IQ for a college graduate with a bachelor's degree in the U.S. is 115. Barack Obama graduated from Columbia University, so the assumption is he must have had at least an IQ of 115.
- Barack Obama graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard Law School; such academic honors are only awarded to students in the top 10% of their class.
- Obama's IQ has been estimated anywhere from 110-165. He is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he served as editor, and later as president of the Harvard Law Review; which is an extremely prestigious position. Obama also taught at the University of Chicago for 12 years, a top-ranked university in the United States. However, these achievement-based estimates fail to account for the possibility that Obama was a beneficiary of affirmative action, which based on collegiate averages would lower his estimated IQ to the 115-120 range. [However, it should be noted that other than partisan claims, there is NO reliable evidence Obama was an affirmative action student, nor is there objective proof that his academic honors had anything to do with affirmative action.]
- Obama attended an elite private school in Honolulu as a scholarship student. Since all of the graduates from that school at that time took collegiate aptitude tests and he was not a National Merit Scholar, Semifinalist, or Outstanding Participant, his maximum possible score on the SAT was 1230, which is the 96.9 percentile. That would translate to a maximum possible IQ of 129. It should be noted, however, that one of the requirements for the National Merit Scholarship is taking the Preliminary SAT test. If Obama did not take the PSAT, he could very well have scored above 1230 on the SAT without being a National Merit Scholar.
Note: To many professionals in the 'IQ' field , this discussion is utterly absurd. We have no idea what Barack Obama's IQ is, but nobody with even a rudimentary understanding of what IQ means and how it is determined would suggest that any of the estimations methods (school grades and positions held at college) described in the answer have any validity whatsoever.
What did Barack Obama did after he got elected?
President Obama is most known for his Community Organization once he received his B.A. from Columbia University. After he left Harvard he wrote a book called Dreams from My Father. After this he became a teacher at the University of Chicago Law School.
