Barack Obama was raised by a single mother and his grandparents. They didn't have much money, but they taught him values from the Kansas heartland where they grew up. He took out loans to put himself through school. After college, he worked for Christian churches in Chicago, helping communities devastated when steel plants closed.
Obama turned down lucrative job o?ers after law school to return to Chicago, leading a successful voter registration drive. He joined a small law ?rm, taught constitutional law and, guided by his Christian faith, stayed active in his community. Obama and his wife Michelle are proud parents of two daughters, Sasha and Malia.
I dedicate my whole day to you tomorrow Nov. 4th. Because I know you are going to return the favor. Best Regards, Valentine, the Latina for NW Indiana and Proud Army wife with a husband in Iraq. God Bless You and the USA.
I am a young nineteen year old women and I believe strongly in my heart and mind that we can trust Senators Obama and Biden to help this wonderful country get back at the top where we deserve to be. As a young woman I stand behind Obama and Biden with many other young women and say, "Yes We Can!"
I just want to offer you my condolences on the loss of your grandmother. I am so glad you took time off to go see her. She will be looking on when you become President elect tomorrow.
