I don't give a packing sheet about US politics since I am not an American in the first place. At this moment when the US election is fast approaching, the intensity of political campaigns have been raised by these two US presidential candidates. Statistics count that Obama is in lead and most probably will win in the US president's chair.
Who is Barack Hussein Obama?
