Barack Obama

Inaugurated on January 20, 2009, Obama led the U.S. through the Great Recession with stimulus measures like the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, signed the Affordable Care Act in 2010 to expand healthcare access, repealed "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" in 2011, and authorized the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden. His administration normalized relations with Cuba, negotiated the Paris Climate Agreement and Iran nuclear deal, and appointed Supreme Court justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. Post-presidency, Obama founded the Obama Foundation in 2014 for leadership and civic programs, launched Higher Ground Productions with wife Michelle Obama (married 1992), producing Oscar-winning content like "American Factory." They have two daughters, Malia and Sasha, and reside in Washington, D.C., and Martha's Vineyard, with a net worth estimated at $70 million. Politically active, he endorsed Joe Biden in 2020 and Kamala Harris in 2024, spoke at the 2024 DNC, and attended Donald Trump's second inauguration in January 2025. As of August 23, 2025, amid Trump's return to power, Obama has warned of threats to democracy, supported redistricting reforms, and faced investigations from the administration, remaining a polarizing yet influential figure advocating for progressive causes.
