TRULY OBAMA
President Obama has been one of the most inspiring people that the world has seen in the recent times. The world’s most powerful man always seems to motivate people around him all the time. He loves to interact with children and have some fun while working. His life style has also been one of the talks across the globe as the Obama’s lead a disciplined life. In the recent past only few aspiring president were present namely, Fidel Castro, Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam etc. Now Obama’s name would be added into that list.

MICHAEL PHELPS AND USAIN BOLT – TRUE ENTERTAINERS
Two big names in the last year Olympics were that of Phelps and Bolt. These two are the most entertaining and the greatest athletes in modern times. Each holds supremacy in his sport respectively. While Phelps stunned the world with eight Olympic gold medals, Bolt set the tracks on fire re-writing the 100 meter world record comfortably. It’s sad that they do not compete in the same sport and we cannot watch them competing against each other. However these two men would break more records and would retire as one of the greatest legends in the modern day Olympic Games.
