The news as it trends

Today marks the 64th birthday of Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States.

Born on August 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii, Obama’s story is one of vision and resilience.

Raised by his mother and grandparents, he pursued education with passion — earning degrees from Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he became the first Black president of the Harvard Law Review.

His journey into politics began with community organizing in Chicago, followed by a seat in the Illinois State Senate, and then the U.S. Senate.

In 2008, he made history as the first African American to be elected president.

His presidency brought landmark changes including the Affordable Care Act, climate initiatives, and expanded civil rights.

Today, Obama continues to advocate for democracy and equality through the Obama Foundation.

He’s also a bestselling author and proud father of two daughters, Malia and Sasha.

As social media floods with tributes and birthday wishes, the world celebrates not just a man — but a beacon of hope and change.
