Former President of the United States, Barack Obama, celebrates his 64th birthday today, August 4, 2025. As the first African American to hold the nation’s highest office, Obama continues to be a global icon for leadership, progress, and inspiration.

Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1961, Obama served as the 44th President of the United States from 2009 to 2017. His presidency was marked by landmark achievements including the Affordable Care Act, the operation that led to the death of Osama bin Laden, and his role in pulling the U.S. economy out of the Great Recession.

Since leaving office, Obama has remained active on global issues through the Obama Foundation and continues to champion causes such as climate change, youth empowerment, and democracy. As friends, family, and admirers from around the world send in their well-wishes, today marks not just a birthday, but a celebration of a legacy that continues to inspire generations.
