England for Obama

The Times has a really great Obama feature listing 50 little known Obama facts.

Some of my favourites:

• He won a Grammy in 2006 for the audio version of his memoir, Dreams From My Father
• He worked in a Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop as a teenager and now can’t stand ice cream
• He promised Michelle he would quit smoking before running for president – he didn’t
• He visited Wokingham, Berks, in 1996 for the stag party of his half-sister’s fiancé, but left when a stripper arrived
• He applied to appear in a black pin-up calendar while at Harvard but was rejected by the all-female committee.
• He hates the youth trend for trousers which sag beneath the backside
• He owns four identical pairs of black size 11 shoes
