Barack Obama - President in 2008
•
•
•
•
•
Obama was born August 4, 1961, in Honolulu, HI. His father, an economist, was born in
Kenya and his mother was born in Kansas. At the time of Obama's birth, both his
parents were students at the East-West Center at the University of Hawaii. When
Obama was two years old, the couple was divorced and Ann Obama then married
another East-West Center student from Indonesia. The family moved to Jakarta,
where Obama's half-sister Maya was born (another half-sister, the daughter of
Obama's father by a later marriage, lives in Nairobi).
Obama was raised, mostly in Hawaii, by his late mother and grandparents. He
graduated from Columbia University in New York and received his law degree,
graduating magna cum laude, from Harvard Law School. He became the first
African-American president of the Harvard Law Review and later worked as a civil
rights lawyer and as a community organizer in New York and Chicago. Obama was
elected to the Illinois state senate in 1997, where he served as chairman of the
Public Health and Welfare Committee. He and his wife, Michelle, are the parents of
two daughters.
He was the third African-American to deliver a keynote address at a Democratic
National Convention when he took the stage at the 2004 convention in Boston, MA. A
few months later, the former law professor at the University of Chicago became the
fifth African-American US senator in history, winning with a landslide 70% of the
vote.
On February 10, 2007, Obama entered the race for President of the United States.
The competition for Democratic nominee was narrowed down fairly quickly to be a
race between Obama, the first serious African American candidate, and Hillary
Rodham Clinton, the first serious woman candidate for US president. In the end,
Obama beat Clinton and then the Republican candidate, Senator John McCain.
He was inaugurated as the 44th — and the United States' first African American —
President on January 20, 2009, with Joseph Biden as his second-in-command.
George W. Bush - President in 2000-2008
•
•
•
•
•
•
George W. Bush served as the 43rd president of the United States from 2001-2009.
Bush is the son of former U.S. president George Bush, who served from 1989-93.
George W. Bush graduated from Yale in 1968. After serving as a pilot in the Texas
National Guard, he attended Harvard Business School and then worked in the oil and
gas industries until 1986, when he got involved in his father's successful 1988
presidential campaign.
He returned to Texas and was elected governor there in 1994 and again in 1998.
Bush won the Republican nomination for president in August of 2000, choosing Dick
Cheney as his running mate. In the November general election they ran against
Democratic candidate Al Gore and Joseph Lieberman. The election is now
remembered for the extremely close and controversial vote in Florida; after a postelection delay of a month while votes were recounted and lawsuits were filed on both
sides, Gore conceded the election to Bush on 13 December 2000. Bush led in electoral
votes 271 to 267, while receiving fewer popular votes nationwide than Gore: the final
official tally was 60,168,094 votes for Gore to 49,820,618 votes for Bush.
Bush and Cheney won re-election in 2004 against a Democratic ticket of John Kerry
and John Edwards. Bush's public approval ratings plummeted during his second term,
thanks to the ongoing war in Iraq, his administration's sluggish response to Hurricane
Katrina in 2006, and an economic crash in 2008.
In November 2000, days before the presidential election, Bush admitted that in 1976
he was arrested for drunk driving in Maine, an arrest he had previously hidden... He
has said that he stopped drinking alcohol entirely in 1986... Bush is the fourth man to
win the presidency while losing the popular vote... Bush fainted briefly on 13 January
2002 after a pretzel stuck in his throat while he was watching football on TV; Bush
recovered moments later and the incident was not considered serious.
William Clinton - President in 1994-2000
• William Jefferson Clinton was born William Jefferson Blythe III in
Hope, Ark., on Aug. 19, 1946. He was named for his father, who was
killed in an automobile accident before Clinton's birth. Virginia
Kelley, his mother, eventually married Roger Clinton, a car dealer,
whose surname the future president later adopted.
• In high school in Hot Springs, Ark., Clinton considered becoming a
doctor, but politics beckoned after a meeting with President John F.
Kennedy in Washington, DC, on a Boys' Nation trip. He earned a BS
in international affairs in 1968 at Georgetown University, having
spent his junior year working for Arkansas senator J. William
Fulbright. He was a Rhodes scholar at Oxford between 1968 and
1970. He then attended Yale Law School, where he met his future
wife, Hillary Rodham, a Wellesley graduate. The couple has one
child, Chelsea.
• Clinton taught at the University of Arkansas (1974–1976), was
elected state attorney general (1976), and in 1979 became the
nation's youngest governor. But he was defeated for reelection in
1980 by voters irate at a rise in the state's automobile license fees.
In 1982 he was elected again. This time he reined in liberal
tendencies to accommodate the conservative bent of the voters.

was the Democratic Party nominee for President in the 2000 U.S. presidential
election.
Albert Gore, Jr. was born in Washington, D.C., the second of two children of Albert

a prestigious feeder school for the Ivy League. He was the captain of the football
team, threw discus for the track and field team, and participated in basketball, art,
and government. He graduated 26th in his class of 61, applied to only one college,
Harvard, and was accepted.
When Gore graduated in 1969, his student deferment ended and he immediately
became eligible for the military draft Gore was stationed with the 20th Engineer
Brigade in Bien Hoa and was a journalist with The Castle Courier. He received an
honorable discharge from the Army in May 1971.
Gore first attended Vanderbilt University Divinity School from 1971 to 1972 on
Rockefeller Foundation scholarship for people planning secular careers.
Gore began serving in the U.S. Congress at the age of 28 and stayed there for the
next 17 years, serving in both the House (1976–1984) and the Senate (1984–1993).

John Kerry was born on December 11, 1943 at Fitzsimons Army Hospital in Aurora,
Colorado. Catholic faith.
As he was graduating from Yale, John Kerry volunteered to serve in Vietnam, because, as
he later said, "it was the right thing to do." John Kerry served two tours of duty. On his
second tour, he volunteered to serve on a Swift Boat in the river deltas, one of the most
dangerous assignments of the war. For his leadership, courage, and sacrifice under fire,
he was decorated with a Silver Star, a Bronze Star with Combat V, and three Purple
Hearts.
When he came home to the United States, John Kerry spoke out against a policy he felt
gave politicians political cover while soldiers bore the real burden. He also began a
lifelong fight for his fellow veterans – joining with other vets to found the Vietnam
Veterans of America to fight for veterans’ benefits, for extension of the G.I. Bill for
Higher Education, and for treatment of PTSD.
After graduating from Boston College Law School in 1976, John Kerry went to work as a
top prosecutor in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. He took on organized crime, fought
for victims' rights and created programs for rape counseling.
John Kerry was elected Lieutenant Governor in 1982. Two years later, he was elected to
the United States Senate and he has won reelection four-times since. He is now serving
his fifth term.
In 2003, John Kerry announced that he would be a candidate for president of the United
States -- and he went on to mount a come from behind campaign that won the
Democratic nomination. Today in the United States Senate, he continues fighting for
what motivated him to enter public life in the first place: love of country and the call of
duty.
Today, Senator Kerry is the thirteenth most senior Senator and the second longest
serving Senator in his seat. He is the tenth most powerful Senate Democrat according
to Roll Call/Knowlegis and holds senior positions on the Finance, Commerce, and Small
Business Committees.
Senator John McCain Candidate for President in 2008
•

•
•
John McCain was born on August 29, 1936 at Coco Solo Naval Air Station in the
Panama Canal Zone, to naval officer John S. McCain, Jr. (At that time, the Panama
Canal was under U.S. control.
His family, including his older sister Sandy and younger brother Joe, followed his
father to various naval postings in the United States and the Pacific. Altogether, he
attended about 20 schools.
In 1961, the family settled in Northern Virginia, and McCain attended Episcopal High
School, a private preparatory boarding school in Alexandria. He excelled at wrestling
and graduated in 1964.
Following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, McCain entered the United
States Naval Academy at Annapolis. He also became a lightweight boxer. McCain came
into conflict with higher-ranking personnel, and he did not always obey the rules,
which contributed to a low class rank (894 of 899), despite a high IQ. He did well in
academic subjects that interested him, such as literature and history, but studied
only enough to pass subjects he struggled with, such as mathematics. McCain
graduated in 1968.
Altogether, McCain was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam for five and a half years.
He was released on March 14, 1973. His wartime injuries left him permanently
incapable of raising his arms above his head.
Elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1982, he served two terms, and was
then elected to the U.S. Senate in 1986, winning re-election easily in 1992, 1998, and
2004. While generally adhering to conservative principles, McCain at times has had a
media reputation as a "maverick" for his willingness to disagree with his party on
certain issues.
