The Obama for President campaign was better organized, better at raising funds and better at generating an enthusiasm in voters for their candidate than their competitors in the democratic primary and general election. Obama announced in 2007 that he would campaign for the nation’s highest office, the presidency of the United 

States.  He defeated his republican opponent John McCain by 365 to 173 electoral votes.  President Obama received 52.9% to McCain’s 45.7% popular vote. President Obama was reelected to his second presidential term on November 6, 2012. He defeated his republican opponent Mitt Romney by
