The President of the United States

In today’s class we talked about some more of the leaders that we have been studying, we went back to get some other info on the people that we had already talked about yesterday. Hu Jintao became of the young communist youth league, and in 1982 he turned thirty nine and became the youngest member of the central committee, he was made vice president at the age of fifty six in 1998- he was the youngest person in modern history to have this job- after, he was made vice chairman of china's state central military commission, and he is also the head of the communist party in China, he will not become leader of China anymore because the people in this country do not vote, someone else decides for them. Next we moved onto David Cameron and that when he was a child he received an amazing education and eventually graduated from Oxford with a degree in philosophy, politics and economics, Queen Elizabeth doesn’t really do anything, and she is just a figurehead. One other thing we talked about briefly was how before Hamid Karzai became the leader of Afghanistan the Taliban was pretty much in control.  Now onto Obama and some things that have shaped him into a leader: Barack had a very good education; he graduated from the Colombia University and Harvard Law School. He was a civil rights attorney in Chicago and taught constitutional law. He served three terms for the 13^th district of Illinois from 1997 to 2004, he also won the senate election in 2004, and he resigned when he won the position of being our president in 2008 when he ran against Hilary Clinton and John McCain. After serving for four years he has just won the election again against Mitt Romney and will continue to be our president for another term.
