Obama Biography

[Edit this paragraph]

Obama was born in Hawaii, USA. His father is an international student from Kenya and his mother is a white man from Kansas, USA. Obama graduated from Columbia University and Harvard University. He was first elected as a senator from Illinois in 1996 and a senator from Illinois in 2004. He became the fifth person in the history of the U.S. Congress and the only one in this Congress. A black senator.

In July 2004, the Democratic Party held its national convention, and Obama was designated to give a "keynote speech" on the second day. The so-called "keynote speech" is when Democrats elaborate on the party's platform and policy declaration, usually delivered by the party's most promising political star. The person who gave the "keynote speech" in 1988 was Clinton, then governor of Arkansas. Obama lived up to expectations. He wrote his speech himself and delivered an impassioned speech. In his speech, he proposed to eliminate partisan differences and racial differences and realize the dream of "one America."

The 45-year-old Obama’s speech is very charming, and his bright smile has won the hearts of many people. Compared with previous black predecessors who intended to run for president, Obama is the first rising star to gain national support in pre-primary polls, becoming a strong opponent of Hillary Clinton, one of the popular candidates for the Democratic presidential candidate in 2008.

In just over two years, Obama has created a whirlwind in the political arena. Some people even compared the "Obama phenomenon" to former President Kennedy's entry into the White House in 1960 with great popularity.

However, there are also many black people who say they do not identify with Obama, and critics also believe that he is still a little too green to run for president, and that Obama still has a lot of room to work hard.

Participate in the next presidential election

[Edit this paragraph]

The U.S. Democratic black senator is preparing to participate in the next presidential election

U.S. Black Democratic Senator Barack Obama announced on January 16, 2007, that he intended to run for president in 2008. He has submitted relevant documents to the US federal election agency that day and established a committee to evaluate the feasibility of his participation in the presidential election.

Obama issued a statement on his website on the 16th, saying that he has been considering whether to participate in the 2008 presidential election for several months, but whether to participate will not depend on media publicity and personal ambitions. Over the past six years, decisions made by the federal government and problems ignored have put the United States in a very unsafe situation, and the United States has been plunged into an "unfortunate and costly" war that should never have been launched. While in Washington leaders are unable to cooperate in a practical way.

Barack Obama is an African-American and U.S. Senator from Illinois. He has a strong advantage among black voters. In the current Democratic presidential primary in South Carolina, candidate Obama defeated Hillary Clinton by a significant margin to win the South Carolina primary. As of now, Obama's vote rate is 55%, much higher than Hillary Clinton and Edwards. The victory was understandable, as black voters make up almost half of eligible voters in the Democratic primary in South Carolina, where race has been a frequent topic of discussion recently. In addition, Obama recently declared that he opposed the Iraq war from the beginning, unlike Hillary who voted for sending troops to Iraq.

More than 200 years ago, during the U.S. election, Lincoln could only travel in a carriage to give speeches; 70 or 80 years ago, in order to win, Roosevelt could already use a radio loudspeaker to promote; in the Kennedy era, on television Speeches in front of thousands of people became the norm.

Now, in the 2008 U.S. election, whether it is Barack Obama and Hillary of the Democratic Party, or John McCain of the Democratic Party, they are all rushing to set up personal websites to promote political platforms and broadcast campaign videos. Advertise, publish real-time updates, and also collect public opinions.

Anchor Du once applied for an interview with the Obama campaign team, but received an email inviting donations: "Your support is more important than ever, please donate $25, the URL is..."

A senior expert in Silicon Valley commented: "Candidates who can harness the full potential of the Internet will stand out in the presidential election." The New York Daily News also recognized this: "In 2008, the key factor in determining the outcome of the presidential election was not Who knows politics better, but who knows the Internet better? ”

The Internet, the most open and democratic form of media, has been deeply involved in the political affairs of elections.

Obama, a 47-year-old black idol, relies on his civilian background and complex experience to promote "innovation" and "dreams". With his sunny and handsome face, he has become the best at using the Internet. Tool man.

With the strong promotion of WEB2.0, will Obama become a "President 2.0"?

Part I: Masters of Internet “money-making” gathered together

Hillary and Obama

According to data released by the U.S. Federal Election Commission, Obama collected Of the 36 million U.S. dollars in donations, 28 million U.S. dollars were raised through the Internet, and 90% of the donations were less than 100 U.S. dollars each.

What is very different from the traditional model of campaign rallies and fundraising dinners is that most of the small donations Obama received were spontaneous online transfers.

This should be taken as a signal.

The U.S. Congress stipulates that each person cannot donate more than $2,300 to presidential candidates. Therefore, U.S. presidential candidates must win over as many donors as possible in order to overwhelm other opponents in terms of fundraising.

As early as the primary election period in the first quarter of 2007, he tried his best. Known as a "rookie", he "made a blockbuster": through the Internet, he received 100,000 donations, more than Hillary Clinton. Twice! The amount of donations also exceeded Hillary. Since then, Obama has had an "online cash machine."

"Times" commented: "The $100 raised by Obama may come from thousands of unnamed ordinary supporters, but the data that cannot be seen on the books will determine the number of votes in the future. It shows that people are looking forward to such surprises.”

According to the data, Mark Gollenberg, who raised funds for Obama, is a venture capital expert in Silicon Valley who helped the Democratic president during the 2004 election. Candidate John Kerry raises money in California.

Mark Gollenberg, together with Steve Wesley, the former comptroller of California and co-founder of eBay, and a group of other Internet elites helped Obama transform the official website (BarackObama .com) has become an activity center for supporters - as long as you register on the website, you can get an instant online notification called "MyObama" and learn more about Obama's updates.

Obama's personal campaign website

Fans can enter their zip code on the website to get a list of information about Obama's campaign in their area, and based on this Join a pro-Obama group.

"These rallies attracted a lot of interest from the community," Gollenberg said. "People went online to donate as soon as they got home. And these were people who had never been involved in a campaign before."

In contrast, Obama's intra-party opponent, Hillary, has also set up a similar "zip code targeting" function on her official website to gather and develop supporters, but the effect is far less effective than Obama's.

The reason is that Obama has entered the WEB2.0 era.

Part Ⅱ: "Christians in the 2.0 Era"

Obama and his campaign team used WEB2.0 technology 2.0 technology in the election.

Opening his website, we can see that it uses a lot of web2.0 elements - mainly blue and white, with blue surrounding the news content, creating an ocean-like feeling;

The "Donate" link is made into a small red horizontal bar, which is obvious but not obtrusive, and detailed classified information such as text news, videos, etc. are listed horizontally in the header;

"Find events", "Call", The most critical election support content such as "Register to vote" and "Volunteer" and "Obama Blog" are placed in the upper right corner and lower left corner of the first screen of the page respectively;

At the bottom is a distribution map of Obama supporters , and links to his content on Facebook, Myspace, YouTube and other websites.

Through the distributor map, supporters can easily contact each other, exchange information on the website, create blogs, hold online gatherings, etc.

Enthusiastic fans are actively canvassing votes for Obama through dating websites such as My Space - an enthusiastic "fan" of Obama named Joe Anthony managed to gather votes for Obama on his own. With the support of 160,000 people!

There are also emails - as long as those who register on the website will receive emails every day, they can keep abreast of all information related to Obama and the election. For example, if the Obama debate is being broadcast live, they will tell you to watch it right away.

Occasionally, Obama and his team will create tension - when Hillary Clinton donated $5 million to the campaign, Obama's campaign team immediately sent a message saying that we have to catch up quickly. In less than 24 hours, people donated a full $8 million to Obama.

Unlike Obama, Hillary attaches more importance to traditional media - the social democratic conference she held on the Hallmark Channel was watched by about 250,000 viewers. But the effect is far inferior to Obama - the Black Eyed Peas produced a beautiful music video based on Obama's speeches, which has nearly one million online views every day!

“This is the Internet era. Obama knows that people who often go online and have time to post comments online are not rich people, because most rich people don’t have that much time, and they will not lower themselves to the poor. Let’s argue together,” an Obama supporter said, “If we judge by the number of supporters, Obama will undoubtedly win.”

Part III: The cheering “Obama Girls”

More What makes Obama happy is that there are many video contents on the Internet that support him and cause a huge sensation, which has gathered a lot of popularity for him.

At the beginning, some bad actors made a spoof of Hillary as a superior boss, and then she was smashed to pieces with a hammer. The last thing that appeared was the URL of Obama’s campaign website.

Then, 26-year-old model Amber Lee Ettinger shot a short video for Obama in a sexy look. After uploading it to YouTube, it became very popular, with more than 5.4 million views, and was selected into YouTube.com , "People" magazine and "Newsweek" one of the top ten short films of 2007.

Ettinger and Obama have never met and have not decided who to vote for. "If there is a chance to meet, I would like to meet his wife and family first. I want to tell Mrs. Obama that I am not taking her place. Making these short films is just for fun." Ettinger said.

Of course, because of these short films, Ettinger herself became famous, and many newspapers and TV stations came to her and asked her to be interviewed.

In January this year, this hot and sexy "Obama Girl" appeared again, put on Superman's clothes and transformed into "Obama Girl" to cheer for Obama.

Supporters of Obama

Such entertaining and funny short films have brought Obama widespread popularity, and his speeches have become popular online.

Data show that the video of his speech in Philadelphia was broadcast on Youtube more than the number of viewers during the live broadcast on all TV channels combined.

Steve Grove, who is in charge of news and political content on the YouTube website, said that the video of Obama’s Philadelphia speech became the most viewed video of a political figure in the history of YouTube.

As a result, Obama and other candidates have an additional position in their teams - videographers. Their job is to edit highlights of the campaign and put them online to build momentum for the election. "You know, a small mistake online may cause them to lose several points of support, which is also their biggest headache."

Part Ⅳ: The embodiment of the "American Dream"

p>

“The most powerful thing about him (Obama) is that he knows how to use his civilian advantages to attract more young people and politically motivated people through various media such as mobile phone text messages, the Internet, blogs, and books. A huge number of non-mainstream people have been ignored.” One media commented.

This does reveal the reason why Obama has attracted widespread attention: life experience and experience.

Like thousands of netizens, Obama is a child of an ordinary family - he was born in Hawaii in 1961. His father, Barack Obama Sr., is a black economist in Kenya, and his mother, Dunham, A white female teacher.

Shortly after his marriage, Obama Sr. left his wife and son and went to Harvard University to study for a Ph.D. After graduation, he returned to Kenya with another American woman, who became his third wife.

Dunham married a manager of an Indonesian oil company when Obama was 6 years old, and divorced four years later. After spending four years in Jakarta, Obama returned to Hawaii and lived in a small apartment with his grandfather and grandmother.

“At that time, like any desperate black youth, I did not know the meaning of life.” Obama wrote in his autobiography “Dreams from My Father”, “Tobacco, alcohol, marijuana... I hope these things can dispel the problems that bother me and dull those memories that are too sharp.”

Obama said that his parents’ multiple marriages gave him seven co-fathers. Half-brothers and sisters, one of whom is a brother-in-law of Chinese descent.

Such a background did not stop Obama from climbing the ladder - after graduating from Columbia University, he first worked in a poor community with an annual salary of only $13,000.

Later, he was admitted to Harvard Law School, became a lawyer after graduation, and then entered politics and became a state legislator. In 2004, he became the only black member of the Senate.

In the entire Senate, he is the only person who needs to file his own taxes. In order to obtain funds to run for the Senate, his family even mortgaged their apartment.

Of course it makes people feel sad to tell these stories, but they also feel that Americans - who come from the bottom and rely on their own efforts to succeed step by step - are simply a real and vivid "American Dream" "story!

A website editor who once interviewed him said: It doesn’t surprise me that he (Obama) is so popular on the Internet. He just turned 46 — young enough to win over most of the Internet generation. He penetrated deeply into social networks at an early stage and gained the favor of young people in online voting, which may have benefited from his early training.

For more than a year, tens of thousands of young people from all over the United States - mostly students - responded to Obama's call for change and came to participate in Obama's campaign. One detail is that there are so many volunteers who have signed up to provide services for Obama's campaign in Iowa that Obama's team can no longer arrange housing for them!

Part Ⅴ: The Black Boys in the Internet Era

The Black Boys in the Internet Era

This young supporter made Obama successful. Most of them are no more than 20 years old. Not only do they have a huge influence on first-time voters aged 17 and 18, but they are also popular protagonists on the Internet.

What they value is that Obama, who succeeded through personal efforts, has his own shadow on him, and also embodies the spirit of the Internet - freedom and openness, everyone can speak freely.

A netizen on Baidu Tieba wrote: "Everyone has their own dreams and ideals, how to realize them? Obama is a role model!"

Another user said: " I don’t know his policies, but I think he is so handsome, elegant, and passionate in his speeches. He can be said to be the best writer in American politics..."

Perhaps, there is no presidential election in the United States. , is as dynamic as it is today through the Internet, and no "grassroots" candidate like Obama has gained a lot of support through the Internet.

Of course, the Obamas hear not just support, but also vitriolic opposition—more often than not, they have no control over how their message is spread online and how it is interpreted by the public.

In mid-March, ABC News exposed a controversial set of videos by Wright, the pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ, where Obama belongs. The media also discovered that the pastor declared in his first sermon after 9/11 that the United States deserved the terrorism it suffered.

This caused big trouble for Obama. He had to publish an article "My Faith and My Church" and at the same time give a 40-minute speech on racial issues.

Correspondingly, during the period when Wright's video was popular on the Internet, Obama's approval ratings continued to decline. However, as his clarifying articles and speeches spread far and wide, his approval ratings began to increase.

This may be the charm of the Internet-all people are equal and real, and gain democracy in disputes.

Ben McLean, a senior analyst at the eMarketer website, believes that “in ancient Greece, citizens not only had the right but also the obligation to participate in national decision-making. And today’s candidates have to put forward what they want to do with the Internet. Directly answering political questions is a return to the origins of democracy."

We will wait and see whether Obama, the black boy of the Internet age, can finally win this election that demonstrates the power of the Internet. .

Obama’s recent situation (Obama leads Hillary Clinton by 10% in polls for the second time by double digits)

The latest poll released by the Gallup Poll Center on the 9th showed that the United States Democratic presidential candidate Obama continues to widen the gap with his party rival Hillary Clinton. Obama currently leads Hillary with 51%, with 41%.

This is the second time Obama has led by double digits, following the March 29 poll in which he led Hillary Clinton 52% to 42%.

According to the "Central News Agency" report, Gallup analyzed that Hillary Clinton's decline in this round of polls should be affected by the exposure of her chief election strategist as supporting the free trade agreement between the United States and Colombia. And when the Clintons released their tax returns for the past eight years last week, it showed that their property had increased by more than $1 million over the past eight years.

In terms of competition between the two parties, Obama widened his lead over President Trump and the party's presumptive presidential candidate John McCain, but it was still within the margin of sampling error. Obama's approval rating is currently 46%, and McCain's is 44%.

If the Democratic Party chooses Hillary to face McCain, the two will be tied at 46%.

Obama’s Faith

Southern Weekend 2007-07-19 15:43:35

□Li Wu

What the people need most Not representation of others, but expression of self. What they should actively participate in is the local decision-making process that actually affects their daily lives. In this kind of participation, they can express their wishes and learn to be responsible and mature citizens. Obama's practice of taking root in the community expresses this idea.

The 2008 U.S. presidential election produced a dark horse—the 47-year-old black Democratic candidate, Barack Obama. Three years ago, when Obama ran for the Illinois Senate, he was still a minor player on the national political stage. Now he has become former first lady Hillary Clinton's biggest opponent in the party primary. Hillary's husband has been president for eight years, and Hillary has been a senator for seven years. She has deep roots in the Democratic Party. However, Obama's fundraising amount in the first half of this year actually exceeded Hillary's, although the total number of campaign deposits in the bank was still slightly higher than Hillary's. Obama's rising reputation has also pushed two of his books onto the bestseller list: the autobiography "Dreams from My Father" (first published in 1995 and reprinted this year) and the political point of view "The Audacity of Hope" (published at the end of last year) .

In Obama's autobiography, what is most relevant to the current campaign is his activities in Chicago's black community. The most unexpected thing is that Obama, who was not a religious person, became a believer in the process of serving the community. How a well-educated modern intellectual views religion and belief becomes an interesting chapter in "The Audacity of Hope".

Obama’s mother is white and his father is black. His grandfather originally lived in Kansas, very close to the Illinois border. To escape the monotony of small-town life, my grandfather headed west to Hawaii. Obama's father is from Kenya, Africa, and met his mother in Hawaii when he was a student in the United States. My mother majored in anthropology and went to Indonesia to do field research after graduation; my father returned to Kenya to practice his ideals of saving the country. Obama studied in Indonesia when he was a child, and returned to Hawaii when he was ten years old and was raised by his grandparents. His experience is very different from that of ordinary black Americans, but Obama has always had the desire to "return to his roots" and feels that he should move back to the black community and truly become a member of the black community.

After graduating from Columbia University, Obama worked in a Wall Street consulting firm for two years before deciding to give up his high salary and attractive career to serve the people in the community. In 1985, a Chicago civil rights organization hired Obama as a community organizer.

After the Second World War, political science professors and socialist theorists from various countries began to consider a thorny issue: to what extent should the people participate in national management? Social surveys have repeatedly shown that there are more class, racial and gender prejudices among the lower classes. Historical lessons have repeatedly proven that people at the lower levels lack the ability to think rationally, and their political behavior is often influenced by emotions. Especially in countries that have not yet established a solid democratic tradition, the people are easily deceived by careerists who incite national chauvinism. As a result, they elect a new Hitler-style dictator like the Germans did, bringing great disaster to themselves and other nations. However, restricting people's right to vote is also a form of tyranny. Opening elections may lead to chaos and a new autocracy; banning elections is itself autocracy. So where is the way out for democracy?

The mainstream thinking on this issue can be summed up in one sentence: What the people need most is not the representation of others, but self-expression. To put it simply, the most important thing is not to "go among the masses." For example, if someone asks the masses to elect him or herself, after being elected, he will propose a minimum wage bill in parliament to let the poor earn more money. The most important thing is to "come from the masses" and let the masses express their needs. That need isn’t necessarily a raise in the minimum wage. People in town A may want a good school most to give their children a good future; in town B, the most important thing may be to get rid of the bad habit of gambling. Otherwise, even if the income increases, the standard of living will not improve. The problems in Town A and Town B are local and cannot be solved by national policy adjustments - lower-class people who lack political experience do not need to participate too much in national politics. What they should actively participate in is the local decision-making process that actually affects their daily lives. In this participation, they can express their wishes and learn to be responsible and mature citizens.

A democratic system needs to be based on community democracy.

These thoughts were later combined with sociological urban community research and developed into various community theories (communitarian theory, here "community") that are very popular in the fields of political science, sociology and cultural criticism. "The definition is no longer limited to administrative). Obama's practice in Chicago is actually a certain application of this theory.

Obama has been working in the community for three years, and his efforts are paying off. There are mass organizations in every street; several community garbage clean-up activities are held; the Chicago Housing Authority is forced to repair poor housing (these houses are allocated by the city government to the poor, so the United States also has housing authorities that manage these public housing); the urban construction department is forced Improve community roads and lighting; organize community youth to meet with employers; carry out "big brothers" activities for boys in middle schools (a male adult takes care of a boy from a single-parent family), etc. Obama has become a minor celebrity locally and is often invited to participate in discussions and express his opinions on various social issues.

Obama changed communities, and communities changed Obama. First, Obama found his community. He became one of the black people in Chicago. When Obama temporarily left Chicago to study law at Harvard, his classmates initially thought he was a black man from the Midwestern United States. They could not see that he was of mixed race, nor could they see any traces of his overseas experiences. Obama was melted by Chicago's black community.

Another major change for Obama is that he found faith.

Obama’s community building requires an organizational foundation, so he mainly cooperates with church pastors. The church is actually the "white gang" in the black area (the gang is, of course, a gang). The church also provides a venue for meetings and events. But these churches were generally in a state of decline. The civil rights movement of the 1960s broke down racial barriers, making it illegal for white homeowners to refuse to sell their homes to black people because of their skin color. As a result, black people from better-off families moved to middle-class suburban communities. As the middle class moves out, black areas become increasingly poor.

What is more serious than poverty is spiritual loss. Struggling out of difficult circumstances requires a value system: family stability, respect for knowledge, self-discipline, hard work, compassion, willingness to help others, etc. The church can provide such value. Black men who practiced church values ??became doctors, teachers, accountants, and civil servants who could afford to buy houses in the suburbs. Because all the core members of the church were moved away, those golden rules that united the church members, such as I am my brother's keeper (I am the keeper of my fellow brothers) and Feed Lord'slamb (helping to raise the Lord's lamb), were gradually lost in the black community. The charisma of yesteryear.

During the three years of community activities, people often asked Obama a question: Black people with abilities like you are rare everywhere. Universities and big companies are eager to snatch you and hang them on their walls as a sign of race. Equal spoils, why do you want to stay here and waste your talents on trivial matters? Community residents doubt Obama can hold on.

The community residents who work with Obama are also believers, mostly retired workers and older housewives. Obama asked them: After retirement, why don't you live a peaceful life at home, but go out and look for trouble? They answered: We do so by faith. One of them has time; the other has experience. They still remember that when Martin Luther King substituted black people into the story of the Jewish freedom and liberation in the Bible, he used the language of the Bible to set off the black people's struggle for freedom and liberation. of storm. They once followed the black pastors in chanting the slogan of equality for all living beings, We too are made in God’s image (We black people are also created by God in His own image), and they still want to prove that black people are also capable of taking care of themselves.

Obama’s mother, as an anthropologist, studies religion as a cultural phenomenon. There are Bibles, Korans, and even Buddhist scriptures at home. Obama attended Catholic schools and Islamic schools in Indonesia. When he arrived in Chicago, he was not a religious person. But in the process of improving the community and integrating into the community, Obama finally realized that to persevere and gain the trust of community residents, he needed the guidance of faith.

There are various Protestant denominations. Obama later chose a church whose members were mainly professionals. What impressed Obama was one of their vows: to encourage success, but to resolutely abandon the "middle-class attitude" after success-mainly refers to moving out of the black community when you have some money, as if you are better than the people left behind.

The church also taught Obama a way of speaking that is very touching in the United States. When intellectuals talk about racial equality, they may quote famous quotes from the Declaration of Independence. Even these famous quotes that are well known to Americans are more appealing to black people with lower education levels than the black pastor’s simple “We too are made in God’s” image that directly points to the conscience of believers.

In 1991, after Obama graduated from Harvard, he returned to Chicago, got married and had two daughters, and really took root in the black community. In 2004, he successfully ran for office and entered the Senate, becoming the third black senator in U.S. history.

Driven by Obama and others, starting in 1999, the Chicago city government launched a 15-year reconstruction plan to demolish old houses in the southern black neighborhoods and rebuild high-standard apartments to attract the return of the middle class and form families of all levels of income. There are new communities.

Obama was one of the main speakers at the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination convention. His reputation within the party was built with this shot, and his reputation has almost surpassed that of presidential candidate John Kerry. One-third of the speech was gobbledygook, and the great Senator Kerry will lead us from victory to victory and so on. But Obama mainly elaborated on the Democratic Party's domestic goals. He quoted the opening words of the Declaration of Independence, “We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Rights." Obama even quoted the Latin motto on the Great Seal of the United States, E pluribus unum (E pluribus unum). However, American friends who attended the meeting said that it was the religious language that really moved the audience. Delegates' eyes welled up when Obama declared, "It is this fundamental belief - that I am my brother's keeper, that I am my sister's keeper - that makes America America." They then murmured: I am my brother's keeper - In the Bible Genesis, Cain was punished by God for not taking good care of his brother Abel. Therefore, successful professionals should stay among poor brothers. , you have the responsibility to protect, this is your belief.

On June 3, 2008, Obama received more than 2,118 delegates who would support him at the Democratic National Convention. This means that he will surely win the Democratic presidential nomination and become the first African-American presidential candidate of a major party in American history.
