Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is an American politician and attorney who served as the 44th president of the United States from 2009 to 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, Barack Obama was the first African-American president of the United States. He previously served as a U.S. senator from Illinois from 2005 to 2008 and an Illinois state senator from 1997 to 2004.
Barack Obama has quipped that a black, gay state representative’s haircut shows that change is possible. The former president said you wouldn’t have seen a cut like Pennsylvania State Representative Malcolm Kenyatta’s hair on someone in office two decades ago.
He said: ‘If you don’t think things have changed, having a brother in the state legislature with that haircut, that is a change.
It looks sharp, but I’m saying, man, you didn’t see that 20 years ago,” Obama quipped to State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta of Pennsylvania’s 181st District.
Laughing Kenyatta replied: ‘My hairstylist thanks you.’ Moreover, he joked the hairdresser would use the video in an advert.
