Barack Obama (Hairy Woodchuck's Scenario)

Barack Hussein Obama was born on August 4th, 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. A graduate of Harvard, Barack Obama taught constitutional law and was a community organizer prior to becoming Senator for Illinois. He ran against John McCain in 2008 for the presidency and won easily. Being the first African American president, Obama was subject to many racist lies and fabrications from alt-right reactionaries, the most prevalent being that he was a secret Muslim, he was secretly born in Indonesia or Kenya, and/or that he was a communist who hated America. Despite this, he was reelected for a second term after defeating Mitt Romney in 2012. After Donald Trump was elected president in 2016, Obama graciously accommodated him and familiarized Trump with the White House. Even after leaving the White House in 2017, the alt-right MAGA Trump supporter Republicans continued to spread lies about him. Such lies range from suggestions that Obama was secretly planning a coup to kick Trump out of office, to absurd notions that America's economy was shrinking up until Trump took office.
Obama's legacy is still sharply debated by historians. Liberal historians give Obama very high ranking among all the presidents, whereas conservative historians give Obama poorer rankings. However, centrist nonpartisan historians tend to say Obama's presidency was above average. The biggest reason for this was because the Obama years were relatively clean of any major corruption scandals on the executive branch, in stark contrast to the Trump presidency. Hence, Obama's nickname was "No-Drama Obama". Historians also credit him for health care reform, economic turnaround, as well as pushing for equal rights. However, most historians criticize Obama for his use of drones in the Middle East, as well as his failure to deal with illegal Wall Street shenanigans.
After his presidency, Obama continued to actively champion liberal causes, and remained active in politics. He supported his daughter, Malia, when she ran for Senator for Illinois in 2040. Obama's physical health began to deteriorate around 2043; he had arthritis that at that point was so severe he could no longer walk. He later suffered a fall in his home and injured his hip. He later moved permanently to an assisted care facility, where he died at in 2047.
