About Barack Obama Barack Obama

Barack Obama was sworn in as president on January 20th, 2009, in the middle of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, at a time when our economy was losing 800,000 jobs a month. He acted immediately to get our economy back on track. Since then, the private sector has added back more than 10 million jobs during the longest, uninterrupted period of job growth in our nations history.

In his first term, the President cut taxes for every American workerputting $3,600 back in the pockets of the typical family. He passed historic Wall Street reform to make sure taxpayers never again have to bail out big banks. He passed the landmark Affordable Care Act, helping to put quality and affordable health care within reach for millions of Americans. He ended the war in Iraq and is working to responsibly end the war in Afghanistan.

Hes the first sitting president to stand up for marriage equality, and is fighting for equal pay and a womans right to make her own health decisions. Hes made a college education more affordable for millions of students and their families. And he believes its time for a comprehensive solution to fix our broken immigration system.

The President believes an economy that's built to last starts by growing and strengthening the middle classthats why he has a plan to create jobs and restore economic security to working families. Hes been driven by the basic values that make our country great: America prospers when were all in it together, when hard work pays off and responsibility is rewarded, and when everyonefrom Main Street to Wall Streetdoes their fair share and plays by the same rules.

The President's legacy as a grassroots organizer inspired millions. Organizing for Action is proud to be built from the ground up by people who believe that real, lasting change only happens when you organize.
