Michelle has already revealed all her experiences in the White House in a book titled ‘Becoming.’.
In A Promised Land, Obama said that as Us Presidents , he was given a BlackBerry phone, but only after the microphone and headphone jacks were removed.He explained that security officials carefully screened 20 people before allowing him to talk to them on the phone.

One-sixth of the world’s population lives there.He said that India has about two thousand indigenous tribes and people speak more than seven hundred languages.He said that his friends in India and Pakistan taught him how to cook dal and keema. He also said that they made him accustomed to watching Bollywood movies.
Vladmir Putin

It is worth mentioning here that relations with Russia were not that good during Barack Obama’s presidency. Sometimes it is difficult.
Us Presidents Joe Biden
Former Us Presidents and fellow Democrat Barack Obama made interesting comments about the new US President-elect Joe Biden. He said that Biden is a good man and honest…but sometimes he can be awkward when he feels like he doesn’t get what he wants.He said that this nature is even more pronounced when dealing with a boss (Obama) who is younger than him. It is known that Biden served as Vice President when Obama was President.
Us Presidents Donald Trump
He criticized Donald Trump for taking office by promising to provide nectar to all such people. Obama commented that even if Donald Trump leaves office, he will not be able to bridge the gap in American politics.What is America?

Due to this, the democratic system itself seems to be in crisis.
Obama called Rahul Gandhi a coward and an immature leader
In-depth study… conciseness… He mocked the politician, calling him a coward with the maturity of a toddler! Senior Congress party leader and heir to the Gandhi family, Rahul Gandhi, has been described by Barack Obama as a cowardly, immature leader in his book ‘A Promised Land.’. Elaborating on the same point further… ”If you think of Rahul Gandhi as a student… he looks like someone who has read everything he has to read and is trying to score good marks in front of the teacher. But… it seems that something is missing in both the passion and the passion to master the subject he has studied,” he commented.
White Racism
They were afraid of seeing a Black man in the White House. Obama said in his book that the entry of a Black man into the White House as the president of the United States has terrified millions of white people and that all of them are long-standing evil forces in the Republican Party.

About Sonia Gandhi
Beauty is her own. “Everyone talks about the beauty of men like Charlie Christ and Ram Emmanuel. They say very little about the beauty of women. Except for one or two occasions, the same happened in the case of Sonia Gandhi.” This is the comment made by former US President Barack Obama about Congress President Sonia Gandhi. Impartiality..Purity of mind As a person who initiated economic liberalization in the country.
He expressed his concern that the current developments are causing both Republicans and Democrats to lose faith in the systems, values, and processes that they once believed in. Emily’s face was nothing Obama commented on Emily, one of his staffers in Iowa, as part of the election campaign… “My entire rhetoric and criticism would collapse in front of Emily. Emily would not blink.
Emily would have not kind of expression. I would try to do whatever she said, thinking that there was no benefit anymore.” Moreover… Obama commented that he did not understand anything about Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska and the Republican vice presidential candidate, regarding government governance. In his book, Barack Obama wrote that the spotlight on his married life, the pressure of office, and the extreme security of the White House made his wife, Michelle Obama, depressed.
He said that Michelle felt trapped within the four walls of the White House. “No matter how much Michelle achieved and became famous in life, there was an unknown tension in her. That tension was like the hum of an invisible machine. I was busy working all day long… He explained, “I felt like my family was treating me as a second priority when it came to the political criticism directed at me.”

The hero who broke the chains of slavery
The same color of blood flows in all the people created by God. But some are born lucky, and some are poor. If a person has to respect another person, who should he respect? the rich or the poor?? If you ask Lincoln, he will look at it differently. He said that everyone has self-respect. Abraham Lincoln was the one who believed in this as a trinity!
In 1861, America’s fate changed. The humanitarian and selfless democratic leader Abraham Lincoln ascended to the presidency of that country. Fifteen people sat on that throne before him, and twenty-eight sat after him. However, no one could reach his level. It is no exaggeration to say that Lincoln is still the idol of the American people. He left such an impression on the minds of Americans.

Abraham Lincoln Childhood
Childhood and youth In December 1816, Thomas Lincoln moved with his family to Indiana, where he had filed a lawsuit challenging his title to his Kentucky farm. There, as a squatter on government land, he hastily built a “half-faced camp”—a crude structure of logs and branches open on one side to the weather—in which the family took shelter at blazing fire.
He soon built a permanent cabin, and later he bought the land on which it stood. Abraham Lincoln helped clear the fields and tend the crops but early developed a dislike for hunting and fishing. In later years he recalled the “panther roar,” “bears that flew hogs,” and “sometimes a very pinch” of poverty on the Indiana frontier.
The most unfortunate period of his childhood came after the death of his mother in the fall of 1818. At the age of nine, he watched her buried in the woods, then faced the winter without the warmth of a mother’s love.Fortunately, before the second winter began, Thomas Lincoln married Sarah Bush Johnston, who had moved from Kentucky to Indiana to raise a family with Thomas Lincoln.
A widow with two girls and a boy, she had energy and affection and ran the household equally, treating both sets of children as if they were her own, but she developed a special affection for Abraham Lincoln, and he for her. He later referred to his stepmother as his “angelic mother.”
Abraham Lincoln Adult life
However, his stepmother developed affection for Abraham Lincoln. She raised him as if he were her own child. Grief… Abraham Lincoln, who had been experiencing grief since birth, continued to haunt him throughout his life. His friends knew well how many sleepless nights Lincoln spent thinking about his nineteen-year-old sister Sarah, who died of tuberculosis. Despite his lack of education, he wanted to succeed in business. It left him with a huge loss. He struggled in a swamp of debt.
Abraham Lincoln Education
Although he became his stepmother’s own child, he gradually became distant from his father. Politics…However, he won four consecutive elections starting in 1834. After that, he spent some years away from politics and practiced law. Lincoln, who studied law on his own, rose to a very high position as a lawyer. Lincoln did not like the oppression of Black people by whites in America. He took up a lawyer and argued many cases on their behalf.
Abraham Lincoln's Political career
In this order, he decided to enter politics again in 1855. Fight against racism…Abraham Lincoln was a man who wholeheartedly believed that every person has self-respect. That is why he could not accept the differences between Black and white. He questioned where the stability of the country would be if Black people were languishing in slavery. That is why he announced that he would abolish slavery and racial discrimination in the country.
His speech titled ‘The Divided Speech’ changed the future of Americans. Abraham Lincoln’s call for all people to be equal and not to discriminate against them moved many. It made Abraham Lincoln the President of the United States. Opposition…After becoming president, Lincoln did not forget his promise. He abolished slavery. This led to strong protests. In particular, 11 states opposed Lincoln’s decision.Murder… Abraham Lincoln took further steps to advance the rights of Black people.
He announced that he would give them the right to vote. With this, some white people conspired against Abraham Lincoln. They tried to end him. A visionary disappeared from the history of that country. Azanubahu…Abraham Lincoln was an Azanubahu. He was six feet four inches tall and was also the strongest.
People give many examples of Abraham Lincoln’s muscular strength. In 1834, while Lincoln was speaking during the election campaign, a man rushed from the supporters in front of the stage. Abraham Lincoln saw the attack, grabbed the man’s neck with one hand, and threw him aside. People still tell stories about this even today. Lincoln was the first to use an axe. Americans believe that he has supernatural powers.

Mother Teresa Autobiography | Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa, the Mother of the Universe, who sought out and helped those in need.
Early life : Mother Teresa was a great person who was born somewhere in Yugoslavia and brought light to the lives of the unfortunate in the slums of Kolkata. She sacrificed her personal life to help her fellow human beings, sought out those in need and helped them immensely and became Mother readmore.
There is little to say about this great person who was called ‘Mother’ by Indians. Born on August 26, 1910 in Yugoslavia, Mother Teresa’s real name was Agnes Gonsa Bojakšu. Mother Teresa’s father was also a pioneer in serving others. An ashram he founded in Letnica for orphans still feeds many people readmore.
Mother Teresa, who followed her father’s service spirit… She joined the school in Kolkata belonging to that organization as a teacher on May 4, 1937. She was moved by the miserable condition of the people in the slums of Kolkata. Due to this, she resigned from her teaching job and started serving humanity readmore.
She established a school called Motijheel for orphans and, due to lack of sufficient funds to feed them, she made a living by scrounging on the streets of Kolkata. Some people who recognized her dedication to service volunteered to help. After the school received financial assistance, in 1950, with the permission of the Vatican, she established the ‘Missionaries of Charity’ readmore.
Through this organization, many unfortunate, poor and sick people were served for almost 45 years. She also extended her services to Asia, Europe, Africa, Rome, Tanzania, and Austria.According to the biography written by Joan Graf Clucas, after 12 years, she decided to dedicate her life to religion. She went there with Red Cross workers and provided medical services.
She resigned from the Missionaries of Charity on March 13, 1997. She died of a serious illness on September 5 of the same year. However, the members of the charity still elect her as the head of the board and declare that she is with them. Mother Teresa, who is known as the Mother of the Universe with the motto ‘Helping hands are better than praying lips’, has also been granted the status of sainthood.
Even after their death, the Vatican City declares ‘Saint’ to those who perform certain miracles. To be declared like this, at least two miracles must occur and then they will gain the status of a goddess. In a similar way, Teresa’s first miracle was recognized in 1998 when she cured a Bengali tribal woman suffering from a tumor in her stomach.
When she said that her tumor was completely cured due to the prayers offered to Teresa, she looked for a second miracle. The Vatican City has announced that Mother Teresa has been canonized as a saint, recognizing her second miracle, when she healed a Brazilian man suffering from a fatal brain disease.
Born somewhere abroad, embarked on a path of service, and settled in Kolkata, India, ‘Mother’ Teresa, who reached out to those suffering from illnesses and rendered services, was a ‘goddess’ who took care of those suffering from diseases in a condition that was so pitiful that she could not even write.
The unfortunate people, whose family members had thrown them on the road, wondering where they would get the disease if they caught it, recovered thanks to Mother Teresa. Knowing that they had no chance of surviving, some unfortunate people forgot their suffering in their last days with the help of Mother Teresa.
However, despite being praised by millions of people, prominent figures, governments and institutions, she also faced criticism and responded to it with her service. Speakers such as Christopher Hitchens, Michael Parenti, Arup Chatterjee and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad accused her of encouraging religious conversions and giving Christianity to those on their deathbeds.
In 1952, she started the ‘Home for the Dying’ in Kolkata. With the help of Indian authorities, she converted a derelict Hindu temple into a hospice for the poor. She named it ‘Nirmal Hruday’, the home of the Sacred Heart of Kalighat. Those who came to this home were provided with medical assistance and were given the opportunity to die with dignity according to their beliefs.
Muslims would recite the Quran, Hindus would offer Ganga water, and Catholics would be given funerals according to their customs. In her words, it was ‘a beautiful death’, a loving arrangement of divine deaths for humans who lived like animals.
