In 2009, Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his “extraordinary efforts” in international diplomacy. Obama really did his best to avoid unnecessary conflicts with other countries during his presidency. We can’t totally say that he succeeded in his quest, but his dedication and efforts are what’s more important, right? That said, we can totally honor his efforts in diplomacy!
Obama has admitted to being bullied in school as a child, allegedly because of his skin color. You know, typical racial discrimination. How we wish this racial inequality would finally cease to exist, but the long fight is certainly not over yet.
Because of his tragic past and the bullying when he was younger, there was little doubt that Obama would eventually resort to a few nasty habits to comfort himself. Aside from drinking, Obama definitely loved to smoke. In fact, he started smoking weed during his school years. In his high school yearbook, the picture inscription thanked “Tut,” “Gramps” and the “Choom Gang.”

Unlike the other Presidents, or most people, Obama is a night owl. He loves to work at night more than during the day. He has stayed late for hours to finish major tasks and make crucial decisions for his administration and country. It might not be the ideal working hours for a President, but he preferred it this way. Why, do you ask?
