He ran for the U.S. Senate and lost. It was the first and only political race he had ever lost. By all accounts, he ran a poor campaign, and although he lost, he later said he learned a lot from it. He returned to the Illinois state senate, and when he ran for the U.S. senate again in 2004, he won.

What happened in 2004 which made Barack Obama so popular?

In 2004, Barack Obama was an up-and-coming young Democrat, and a newly elected U.S. senator from Illinois. John Kerry, the Democratic nominee for president, heard that Mr. Obama was a dynamic speaker, and invited him to give an address to the Democratic Convention; it would be televised nationally, and given in prime time. Mr. Obama did not disappoint. His speech about what unites us, and the need to seek common ground no matter what political party we are from, was so well-received that many people believe it launched his career as a possible candidate for higher office.

I would doubt it very much. President Obama is the commander in chief and the leader of our country, and it is doubtful he would be selling products for Amway or for any other company. Once he retires from politics, he may seek another profession, but most likely, he would return to being a professor or a public speaker.

What president are the adults voting for in the US?

This year (2010) there is no presidential election. In the last election, the majority of US adults voted for Barack Obama - and he is now President. It remains to be seen who will be nominated for president in the 2012 elections although it is presumed that the incumbent will secure his party's nomination if he is eligible to run - which Obama will be in 2012 unless something unexpected happens. Recognizing the current widespread popular opposition to Obama's most significant government initiatives - and the backlash against them expected at the polls tomorrow (2 Nov 2010), it is not certain that Obama will seek reelection (although it is expected) or garner his party's nomination (although it is likely he will).
