Barack Obama
Jim Young / Reuters-- He's the president who made history
before even taking his oath of office - the first African American ever
to be elected to the White House. He won the Nobel Peace Prize after
just nine months as president. He looks pretty great in sunglasses. But
Obama has also had a far tougher time as president than the lofty rhetoric
his campaign was founded on might have suggested. Inheriting an economy
in a dire state, he's overseen a slow and unsteady recovery, while his
healthcare reforms polarised the nation following vitriolic attacks from
his political opponents.
With Obama stuck in a close race with his Republican opponent, Mitt
Romney, we look back at the life and career of a president who has
proved to be transformative and divisive in equal measure.
