I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we've struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We've made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.

Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States and the first African-American to hold the office. He was born in Hawaii and raised in Indonesia and Kansas. He graduated from Columbia University and Harvard Law School. He then went on to become a civil rights lawyer, a professor, and a US Senator. He was elected President in 2008 and re-elected in 2012. During his time in office, he championed healthcare reform, climate change action, and improved relations with Cuba. His legacy will live on in the hearts of the American people!
