問題詳情
(E)Barack Obama was borne at the Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women & Children in Honolulu, Hawaii, by Ann Dunham, a white American from Wichita, Kansas of mainly English descent. Obama’s father was Barack Obama, Sr., from Nyang’oma Kogelo, Nyanza Province, Kenya. His parents married on February 2, 1961; they separated when Obama was two years old and divorced in 1964.As an adult, Obama admitted at the 2008 Civil Forum on the Presidency that he had used marijuana, cocaine, and alcohol when in high school, which he described as his greatest moral failure. Obama plays basketball, a sport he participated in as a member of his high school’s varsity team. Before announcing his presidential candidacy, he began a well-publicized effort to quit smoking. However, he didn’t make it.On February 10, 2007, Obama announced his candidacy for President of the United States in front of the Old State Capitol building in Springfield, Illinois, where Abraham Lincoln delivered his historic “House Divided” speech in 1858. Throughout the campaign, Obama emphasized the issues of rapidly ending the Iraq War, increasing energy independence, and providing universal health care.During both the primary process and the general election, Obama’s campaign set numerous fundraising records, particularly in the quantity of small donations. On June 19, Obama became the first major-party presidential candidate to turn down public financing in the general election since the system was created in 1976.A large number of candidates initially entered the Democratic Party presidential primaries. After a few initial contests, the field narrowed to a contest between Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton, with each winning some states and with the race remaining nearly tied throughout the primary process. On May 31, the Democratic National Committee agreed to seat all of the disputed Michigan and Florida delegates at the national convention, each with a half-vote, narrowing Obama’s delegate lead. On June 3, with all states counted, Obama passed the threshold to become the presumptive nominee. On that day, he gave a victory speech in St. Paul, Minnesota. Clinton suspended her campaign and endorsed him on June 7. From that point on, he campaigned for the general election race against Senator John McCain, the Republican nominee.
