A person simply has to be ambitious if they are to ever be a serious candidate for president. I bet that for most the ambition starts early. Barack Obama must have made an impression on his kindergarten teacher who still recalls him, and recalls that he wrote a paper entitled “I Want To Become President.” (I wonder if he was any more specific about his plans in that paper than he is today.)
The article where I discovered this bit of trivia also discusses Obama’s education and provides yet one more source for debunking the claims spread by Republicans that Obama attended a Madrassa.
