No, he was what some schools would call an adjunct professor (the University of Chicago calls it a Senior Lecturer, and administrators there have said in writing that the Senior Lecturers are considered professors). Mr. Obama taught courses at the University of Chicago Law School part-time for about twelve years, but he was not a full-time employee. The university did ask him to accept a full-time position; but he turned it down to enter politics.

Barack Obama
Barack Obama did not teach at Harvard; he was a teaching assistant, which means he was helping a professor while studying for his degree (the professor he helped was a scholar named Professor Laurence Tribe). But after graduating from Harvard Law School, Mr. Obama did become a professor at the University of Chicago's law school, where he taught a number of courses but primarily focused on Constitutional Law.
Mr. Obama was an adjunct professor of law at the University of Chicago Law School for nearly twelve years. He was popular with students, and the school wanted to make him an offer to become full-time faculty, but he decided to go into politics instead.

No. He was a student at Harvard law school but not a professor. He has no affiliation with Princeton. He taught law at University of Chicago law school as a senior lecturer.
President Obama taught at the University of Chicago for twelve years. He was a senior lecturer, which corresponds at many schools to an adjunct professor. In 2008, the university's law school issued a public statement (in response to questions from the press) that explained how senior lecturers are in fact considered to be professors by the students, and it is accurate to refer to an adjunct professor as a professor. It should also be noted that not all full-time professors have tenure; I am a full-time professor, but the university at which I teach does not use a tenure system for its faculty. That said, Mr. Obama was not teaching at the University of Chicago Law School full-time, but the university liked his work and eventually, they made him an offer of a full-time tenure-track position; however, he had already decided to go into politics, so he declined their offer.
Barack Obama was a professor at the University of Chicago Law School. This was after he left Harvard and had written Dreams from My Father. Of course he had received a J.D. from Harvard with high honors.
