The appropriate answer for this question will be "Barack Hussein Obama is the current presidente of the US of America" and not "Barack Hussein Obama is the 44th president of the US of America."
Try again Kitos. :wink:

Hi Candy!
I think your question won't take us for that answer. I suppose that the person you make this question will be confused, asking which number are you talking about. :) you have one more chance... :wink:

What about simply, "who is Barack Obama?". In order to have the respondent repeat "Barack Obama", the question must be asked in a formal context, perhaps a quiz on television. To be honest, I'd rather expect this sentence in an Encyclopedia, or an essay 20 written years from now, when nobody remembers him anymore; there wouldn't be any preceding question at all.

Probably even better would be the question :-

"What position does Barack Obama hold in the American government?"

I cannot construct a sentence that would definitely receive the answer that, he is the 44th President.

Kitos is quite right. Another way we can use to achieve that answer is asking: "Among all the presidents of the United the States which is the position of Barack Obama".

lol this was my attempt.

What do you say about my suggestion Candy? :wink:
