The word "incumbent" refers to the person who is currently in office. So, the incumbent president refers to President Obama. His challenger in the 2012 election was Mitt Romney. In politics, the incumbent is the one who holds the job-- whether it's the governor or mayor or president; the person trying to win that job in an election is the challenger, who is trying to defeat the incumbent.
