Barack Obama

Born: Aug. 4, 1961

Those born this week are sometimes known as "people of balanced strength,” and there's no better way than that to describe President Barack Obama. Indeed, this week's Leos are known as long-term strategizers who can withstand great stress in the name of a greater cause. During his presidency so far, the father of Malia, 13, and Sasha, 10, (wife is amazing first lady Michelle!) has certainly had to channel these qualities to serve our country, especially when it comes to navigating the continuing financial crisis.
