Oprah Winfrey's endorsement of Barack Obama was one of the most widely covered and studied developments of the 2008 presidential campaign.
 Winfrey has been described as for her impact on culture and her proven record as a taste-maker and trend-setter, and there was much interest in whether that influence could translate politically since she had never before endorsed a candidate.
 Winfrey first endorsed Obama in September 2006 before he had even declared himself a candidate.
 In May 2007 Winfrey made her first endorsement of candidate Obama, and in December 2007, she made her first campaign appearances for him.
 Two economists estimate that Winfrey’s endorsement was worth over a million votes in the Democratic primary race and that without it, Obama would have lost the nomination.
 Then-Governor of Illinois Rod Blagojevich claimed that the endorsement was so significant in electing Obama president that he considered offering Obama's former seat in the Senate to Winfrey.
Barack Obama – Der schwarze Kennedy (English: Barack Obama – The black Kennedy ) is a best-selling German-language biography of President of the United States Barack Obama by journalist Christoph von Marschall.
 The book was written by Marschall while he spent much of 2007 travelling with Obama's presidential campaign as a reporter for the Berlin newspaper "Der Tagesspiegel".
 It covers Obama’s life from his childhood, through his college years, his time as a community organizer in Chicago, Illinois, and his political career including his 2008 presidential campaign.
 Marschall sums up his impressions of Obama by saying, “Seine Lebensgeschichte steht für den amerikanischen Traum.”
 (“His life story stands for the American Dream.”)
Some of the threats have been extended to members of Obama's family, including First Lady Michelle Obama.
 Obama and his officials have generally declined to discuss death threats against him since entering the presidential race.
 Some commentators have suggested the unusually high number of death threats surrounding Obama are at least partially tied to the use of racist imagery and words used by some of Obama's critics to describe the president.
 In 2009 journalist Ronald Kessler reported that Obama received 400 percent more death threats than his predecessor.
 Later that year, the Secret Service stated that the volume of threats against Obama was "comparable to that under George W. Bush and Bill Clinton."

 Obama, a Democrat, took office as the 44th United States president following a decisive victory over Republican John McCain in the 2008 presidential election.
 Four years later, in the 2012 election, he defeated Mitt Romney to win re-election.
 He was the first African American president, the first multiracial president, the first non-white president, and the first president to have been born in Hawaii.

Ronald Prescott Loui is an American computer scientist and philosopher identified as "Frederick" in U.S. President Barack Obama's "Dreams From My Father" memoir, the first classmate the ten-year-old Obama meets at Punahou School.
 Loui appears in Obama biographies, national and international newspaper articles, in online columns, in a film documentary, on NPR and on Fox TV news.
 In cartoon form, he appears as Obama's childhood sidekick in the comic biography by Jeff Mariotte.
 Loui is the first friend named and quoted by Obama in his memoir.
 In a radio interview, Loui explained that his brother Terrence was really the first person who welcomed Obama and his grandfather to Punahou (so the character in the memoir is a composite of two people).
The Jeremiah Wright controversy gained national attention in the United States, in March 2008 when ABC News, after reviewing dozens of U.S. Presidential candidate Barack Obama's pastor Jeremiah Wright's sermons, excerpted parts which were subject to intense media scrutiny.
 Wright is a retired senior pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago and former pastor of President Obama.
 Obama denounced the statements in question, but critics continued to press the issue of his relationship with Wright.
 In response to this, he gave a speech titled "A More Perfect Union", in which he sought to place Wright's comments in a historical and sociological context.
 In the speech, Obama again denounced Wright's remarks, but did not disown him as a person.
 The controversy began to fade, but was renewed in late April when Wright made a series of media appearances, including an interview on "Bill Moyers Journal", a speech at the NAACP, and a speech at the National Press Club.
 After the last of these, Obama spoke more forcefully against his former pastor, saying that he was "outraged" and "saddened" by his behavior, and in May he resigned his membership in the church.
Eric Schultz is a senior advisor to former President Barack Obama and is the founder of Schultz Group.
 Schultz is a former White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary and special assistant to President Obama.
 Recognized by "Politico" as the strategist “White House officials turn to in a crisis to handle communications,” Schultz was originally hired at the White House in 2011 to respond to Congressional oversight investigations.
 After White House Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest replaced Jay Carney to become White House Press Secretary, Schultz was appointed White House Deputy Press Secretary.
 In this role, Schultz often diffuses "tensions with humor.
 But he can be relentless in pushing his message in both public and private conversations.”
 Former White House Communications Director Jen Psaki compared Schultz to fictional crisis manager Olivia Pope, "he's the person you want next to you in a foxhole when there's a crisis."
 At the end of President Obama's second term, former White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett said of Schultz, “We’ve all grown to rely on his wise counsel" and that the President "trusts his sound judgement."
