What are some tough problems Barack Obama went through?
America's rapidly increasing debt is definitely one of the biggest challenges. America's debt increase rate has skyrocketed since he became president. This may or may not be his fault/doing.
What helped Barack Obama became successful?
President Obama has a history of building consensus and bringing different people together to work on problems, according to those who know him. While it is undoubtedly disappointing to him that he has been unable to break through congressional gridlock as president, that was not his history. As an up-and-coming state senator, he was widely praised (even by opponents) for his powers of persuasion, and for getting things done for his constituents. He also is an eloquent motivational speaker, and that has been a big help for him in winning people over to his point of view. Additionally, he is good at strategic thinking and coming up with varying ways to approach problems. The other factor that helped him succeed was strong support from his mother and maternal grandparents, who encouraged him to study and gave him the opportunity to get a good education.

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.

By most accounts, Malia is a typical kid: she loves dancing, she loves music (big fan of Beyoncé), she plays soccer, and she enjoys hanging out with her friends from school. Her parents make sure she studies, but some sources have said she is also very inquisitive and likes to read on her own.

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.

u loser grow up and get a life
Getting himself elected is what he considers most important.
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.
What was the last name of the first US President?
The last name of the previous US president was "Bush". His name is George Walker Bush and he served from 2001-2009.
How did Obama enroll in Columbia as a foreign student?
This is another of those internet myths. There is no truth to it. President Obama was not a foreign student. He attended Columbia as an American, because he happens to be an American (born in Hawaii in 1961). Sadly, there are a number of false statements about the president, and the "foreign student" statement is a good example.
Has Barack Obama ever declared war?
Yes and no. He did not start any wars, but he inherited two wars from President Bush. Mr. Obama ended most of the US involvement in Iraq and brought the vast majority of the troops home in 2011. He is currently overseeing the end of US involvement in Afghanistan, and expects most of the troops to be home by next year.

The rand (money) is divided into hundred cents (c). One-cent and two-cent coins are however no longer minted because of their extremely low value. Other coins are 5c, 10c, 20c and 50c.
