Barack Obama born in 1961 in named. Father, his full name is Barack Hussein Obama Jr. He is a practicing Christian, even though his parents were Muslim and Christian, he comes from a big family having two fathers and 10 half siblings.

About America's ex president Barack Obama 

number one,

 he tried his hand on modeling when he was studying at Harvard. Barack Obama submitted his photographs to be considered for the calendar of Harvard's hunks, but was rejected by the female committee. The story goes that the female committee was looking for attractive young men to model for high risk calendar for raising funds and young Barack decided to give modeling a go, but he was promptly refused.

number two, 

he believes in good luck charms. When you become the president of the superpower in this entire world, you certainly have luck on your side, but all you, Alexis would be surprised to find out that Obama carries a few terms with.

He keeps them with him wherever he travels. He carries a Madonna and a baby statue, a gambler's lucky sheet, a little monkey, God, and a bracelet from a soldier. Some say he keeps them. So he's reminded of his faith and the sacrifices that Americans have made to come this way.

 Number three.

 He does not drink coffee.

Now this one surely surprises us here at Alex. How many of you wake up in the morning and just want to grab some coffee straight away? We certainly cannot keep our eyes open if we do not get our caffeine. So we are quite surprised to find out that Obama is not a coffee person. He might drink tea, go for a walk, but he does certainly not drink coffee.

Number four, 

he is quite athletic, even though he might not have. Don't be fooled by his lean frame. Barack Obama stands at 61 and weighs about 180 pounds. And we found out that he bench presses over 200 pounds. Now that is impressive for a guy at his age. He also keeps himself active by jogging, playing golf and baseball.

He takes his health seriously, and he quit smoking to talk about being an inspiration. We had Alex want to know how do you guys keep yourself physically? Do you love to go to the gym or like playing a good old fashioned sport? Let us know in the comments, 

number five, 

he is known as Mr. Renegade by the secret service.

We bet you didn't know that throughout history, the American president and their families have been given nicknames by the secret service. The Kennedys were known as lace and Lancelot, and the Obama family are known as Renegade for president Obama. Michelle Obama is Renaissance. Malia is radiance and Sasha is.

Number six,

 he has won two Grammy awards. Most of you might know that Obama has written quite a few books, including two bestsellers and both dreams from my father and the audacity of hope were recorded as audio books and Obama won a Grammy award each for best spoken word album. For these audio books, we think that Obama will continue to write more books now that he has more time to himself.

Number seven, 

he is a comic book. We didn't see that one coming. Can you imagine a young Obama sitting in his room late at night with a flashlight in his hand and reading Spider-Man the thought of it is so heartwarming. His love for comic books does not stop at Marvel. Do you guys know he was a fan of the Conan, the barbarian too.

Number eight. 

He played basketball in high school. Barack Obama's favorite sport is basketball and what he has done to promote it at the white house is just insane. Thanks to him. The white house now has a basketball court on his property, which makes us wonder if any other president was into sports or not.

Barack was passionate about basketball from an early age, and he played on a competitive team throughout school, even making it to his high school, varsity squad. We also heard that he was called Barry Obama. A pretty interesting nickname for our president. If you ask us. 

Number nine.

 He can speak Indonesian fluently.

After Obama's parents got divorced in 1964, his mother got married to Lolo. She took little Barack to Indonesia to live with Lolo. And this is where he learned to speak Indonesian. He can also speak a little bit of Spanish.

 Number 10. 

He is the first president to use social media. Obama will always be known as the first president to tweet.

He will be known as the president who, who ushered the world in a social media era. The presence in the past never had to face the masses via social media. There were stories in the news and that was it. But now everything is online and Obama certainly use that to his advantage during his presidential campaign.

That's number 11.

 He does not like ice cream. Barack Obama worked in Baskin-Robbins when he was a teenager, but he has been heard saying he is not a fan of the dessert. We suppose he ate way too much ice cream back then. I mean, who doesn't like ice cream, Obama has done a few odd jobs in his youth, including being a gift shop salesman and a deli counter.

Everyone needs to start somewhere

. Number 12,

 he gets his hair cut from the same barber every week. Barack Obama likes to stay well-groomed. He gets his haircut buys. A serif has Chicago barber for 21 days. 

Number 13,

 his name Barak means blessed. His name Barak comes from the Swahili language and it means the one who is blessed.

Barack Hussein Obama Jr. Was named after his father. His father was a student in Hawaii when he met Anne denim and the two got married, they divorced a short while after Obama was born and his mother married her.

 Number 14. 

He has read every Harry Potter book, the president of the United States and reading Harry Potter books.

Now we didn't see that one coming. Apparently Obama has read all of the Harry Potter books with his elder daughter, Malia. He shares a close bond with his family and we have seen how close he is with his wife. On some occasions. We think it's wonderful. How dedicated Obama is towards family. No matter how hectic his schedule gob Obama made sure to spend some quality time with his family regularly.

He gives a lot of importance to family values because he was raised without his father and misses that important figure in his life. He wants to stay connected with his daughters and be there for them. Isn't that? So sweet. He also wrote a letter to his daughters and all of the children in the United States in parade magazine.

Number 15.

 He had an ape for a pet. Every one of us as a child probably had a pet. And those of us who didn't certainly wish they had, we all would've said that letter to Santa saying how you wanted that cute little puppy for Christmas, for being good that year, or maybe you wanted a cat. Well, Obama wanted to have a pet too, and he did.

Just not one that you would expect while most of us would be happy. Keeping her a little poodles and Persian cats, but not Obama. He didn't want a regular pet while living in Indonesia, he had an ape for pet. Guess what he named him? Tata was the name. Young Obama gave his pet. We wonder what happened to that ape.

If Barack Obama ever went to see it again, what do you guys think of having any, a pet? Do you know anyone who has captain unusual pet? We would like to. Oh, you decided to stick around a little longer. Well, we will let you in on a little secret Obama's go-to drink is the black forest ice tea.
