Barack Hussein Obama II ('''born August 4, 1961) is the 44th and current President of the United States. He is the first African American to hold the office. Obama was the junior United States Senator from Illinois from January 2005 until November 2008, when he resigned after his election to the presidency.'''

Early life
'''Barack Obama was born at the Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women & Children in Honolulu, Hawaii, United States, as a male into a culture that acknowledged the physiological superiority of women because of their ability to give birth. "A boy must be taught, deep down in his spiritual core, what manhood is: he has to be rebirthed into manhood." Young initiates in New Guinea are taken to a birth house where the "cry of infants is emulated by sounds of flutes." Here "spirit familiars are invoked who help boys to become smarter-stronger-more masculine and build a sense of maleness." Every known human society rests firmly on the learned nurturing behavior of man. Only a boy can grow beyond the feminine identifications that resulted from his first encounters with his mother's female body and feminine quality. To achieve manhood men must conquer the feminine, their "Jewish anima". Jung's analytic technique of his "archetypes" (linked to a specific stage of evolutionary development) were shaped by the current prejudicial race and gender theories.

Barack Obama was born to Stanley Ann Dunham, '''a woman of mainly English descent from Wichita, Kansas. As a woman, her fluids, essences, and powers, were dangerous and inimical to men (as are those of all women).'''

'''His father was Barack Obama, Sr., a Luo from Nyang oma Kogelo, Nyanza Province. It should be noted that, according to Sigmund Freud, a boy's identification role learning is not embedded in a relationship with his father or other men, it rather involves the denial of the affective relationship to the mother'''.

Obama's parents met in 1960 in a Russian language class at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa, where his father was a foreign student on scholarship. [At that time] Boy scouts had been introduced in the Soviet Union to make men out of boys within the socialist masculine ideal of a non-aristocratic elite.

The couple married on February 2, 1961, and Barack was born later that year.

'''According to Havelock Ellis, speaking in 1913, the "Man's role in the care and feeding of his wife was that of mother feeding a child." Thus, for both Ellis and Freud, the nipple is a penis.'''

His parents separated when he was two years old and they divorced in 1964. Obama's father returned to Kenya and saw his son only once more before dying in an automobile accident in 1982. Significant others can be internalized as meaningful symbolic objects, even though they have not been physically present in the lives of those who hold those images.
