About LIFE Barack Obama
On the occasion of Barack Obama’s 60th birthday, LIFE explores his historic presidency and extraordinary life. In fresh stories and remarkable photographs, this special issue follows the track of a biracial child from a splintered family to an unlikely but rousing ascendancy to the presidency. While he and his wife, Michelle Obama—among the most popular First Ladies ever—raised their children in the White House, Obama also raised the hopes of so many with his unyielding belief in the compassionate power of this nation’s democracy. His presidential years were rich with policy landmarks, and this issue takes stock of their ongoing impact, as well as his personal post-presidential life today. Obama’s journey is truly an American one, and his honesty and resilience—even in the face of grave tragedy and ugly politics—makes his story ever inspiring.
