Barack Obama
The Public Record
Barack Obama served as the 44th President of the United States from January 20, 2009, to January 20, 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously represented Illinois in the U.S. Senate from 2005 to 2008 and served in the Illinois State Senate from 1997 to 2004. Obama is known for his signature policies including the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, and his efforts in economic recovery following the 2008 financial crisis. His presidency was marked by significant legislative achievements and a focus on healthcare reform, climate change, and foreign policy initiatives such as the Iran nuclear deal.
He has said that this is not a traditional Democratic versus Republican race.
We have accomplished a lot over the past eight years, but the President is acutely aware that all of that is at stake in 2016.
Power Africa is now working toward adding 30,000 MW of new, cleaner electricity generation capacity.
Through the Power Africa initiative, we aim to double access to power in Sub-Saharan Africa.
This is serious. This is about his legacy and your life. He's one of the only candidates out there actually talking about what this means to your future.
Those who wanted to suppress the vote, they're going to fail. The law was struck down. Your rights have been restored.

This is about us. This is about me. Even if you're not -- I mean he doesn't say this explicitly. But it's pretty clear he's saying, even if you're not crazy about her, do it for me.
That's the spirit we all must summon now not only to heal, but to honor the service of Sergeant Beminio, Officer Martin, and all the men and women who wear the blue.
I believe that Senator Burr's comments expose the nonsense of the preexisting Republican argument.
We should adhere to those longstanding customs and norms, because they help protect the integrity of investigations.
He continues to warn against complacency and discuss what's at stake on the ballot on Tuesday.
She's made mistakes in the past, just like everybody has. But these are nothing compared to the ongoing daily transgressions that Mr. Trump engages in.
Hillary Clinton is consistently treated differently than just about any other candidate I see out there.
Who you are, what you are, does not change once you occupy the Oval Office. If you disrespected women before you were elected, you will disrespect women once you're president.
I want every man out there who's voting to kind of look inside yourself and ask yourself, if you're having problems with this stuff, how much of it is, you know, that we're just not used to it.
