Blogthings - How Much Do You Know About Barack Obama?



You Got 5/10 Questions Right



You are by no means an Obama expert, but you know a few things about him.
You may (or may not) be a fan, but you definitely don't consider yourself an Obamamaniac.

You may not know Obama's favorite movie or ice cream flavor, but you know the basics.
And that's enough for you to be a fully informed citizen!

How Much Do You Know About Barack Obama?

You Got 8/10 Questions Right

You are a probably a news junkie, Obama fan, or both.
You know a lot about Barack Obama - including his politics, history, and family.

It's likely you're a very knowledgeable person and quite well read.
You can't stand ignorant people, no matter what their political persuasion is.


Interesting. I was gonna say, just from reading the title of the thread (and thank you so much, Kar, for bringing that to the board) that I probably know more about Obama than I do about Stephen Harper. Which is still true.

Of course, now I want to know which two questions I got wrong. And, in my defense, I have to say that, while I do have problems with ignorant people... I do think that the fact that I am myself quite ignorant should go at least some way towards redeeming me!

you definetly do know a lot about politics. I was lucky I think to get my half right. I should know more. But ... I usually avoid politics.

Hah..9 our of 10 questions.

I googled and it says he speaks "Bahasa" which is spoken in Indonesia. Does he speak another language besides that and English?

Oh I have NO idea ....

Me neither. I went for Spanish as the default second language in the States... but, yeah, no clue.

I got 8/10.

I'm not sure what ones I got wrong.

I wasn't expecting some of the questions, though. Like what book series he's read in full. Twilight, HP, Narnia.

I put Harry Potter just because I thought that maybe he read them to his daughters.

LOL! I got 10/10.

I remember seeing a clip of him speaking to one Indonesian reporter in Bahasa. I have to go look for it.

If the lowest score we get is a 5/10 questions answered correctly, do we start wondering whether we're the ones who are well informed or if the man is an open book?

Ah well.

Good question, I'd say it is a mixture of both. Given the amount of information and coverage we got during the campaign and afterwards, it's not too surprising some things stuck. Of course reading his books might have helped as well
