President Obama in the 60s, 70s & 80s

President Barack Hussein Obama is the 44th and current president of the United States, and the first African American to serve as U.S. president. First elected to the presidency in 2008, he won a second term in 2012.

He will leave the office at 20th Jan, to celebrate the last 8 years we decided to show rare photos of his 60’s to 80’s life.

During the Obama vs. McCain election, Nickelodeon had a Nick news thing where they interviewed both the presidential elects. One of the questions was what was their favorite Halloween costume as a child, to which they both answered ‘pirate’.
