BARACK Obama is president of the world’s most powerful country, it has been confirmed.

The first African-American to be elected to the office, Obama’s presidency is seen as a sign that America is a more mature and advanced democracy than ever before.

Democrat Senator Tom Booker said: “With so many countries led by arrogant, corrupt demagogues who have swept to power on a tide of rabble-rousing ignorance, it’s such a relief that today, in 2017, we have Obama.

“He speaks with such authority.”

Voter Donna Sheridan said: “I like Obama because he has sensible-sized hands which he keeps to himself when he’s around women.

“I’m so glad he’s our president, it’s great.”
