Since the Supreme Court is not actually Obama's, but all of America's, I'm assuming the question is 'who is the chief justice of the Supreme Court". The answer is John Roberts.
[President George W Bush appointed Chief Justice Roberts in 2005. Supreme Court justices are appointed for life, so a sitting President only gets to nominate a new Chief Justice if that position becomes vacant during the President's term of office.]
Sonia Sotomayor
On May 26, 2009, President Obama nominated Justice Sonia Sotomayor to replace Justice David H. Souter, who retired at the end of June 2009.
On August 6, 2009, the US Senate confirmed Sotomayor's nomination by a vote of 68-31, making her the 111th US Supreme Court Justice. Although the vote was split along party lines, the unanimous Democratic endorsement was joined by nine Republicans and both Senate Independents.
Associate Justice Sotomayor took the Constitutional and Judicial Oaths of Office on August 8, 2009.
Elena Kagan
President Obama nominated US Solicitor General Elena Kagan on May 9, 2010, to succeed Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, who retired from the Court on June 29. The Senate Judiciary Committee recommended Kagan's by a vote of 13-6; she was confirmed by a full Senate vote of 63-37 on Thursday, August 5, 2010.
Kagan, who is the fourth woman to join the US Supreme Court, will also increase the female census on the bench to three for the first time in history. She is expected to take the Oaths of Office on August 7, 2010.
President Obama has appointed two Supreme Court justices: Sonia Sontemayor in 2009 and Elena Kagan in 2010.
Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor.
President Obama nominated US Solicitor General Elena Kagan to succeed Justice John Paul Stevens on the Supreme Court following his planned retirement in June 2010.
The US Solicitor General's office represents the United States' interests in court. Kagan has argued several cases before the US Supreme Court since joining the Department of Justice in 2009.
John Roberts, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, was not appointed by President Obama-- he was appointed by President Bush. But since supreme court justices serve for life, Chief Justice Roberts remains on the bench even after the president who appointed him is no longer in office.
President Obama has not appointed anyone recently, but since several of the justices are older and at least one has been ill, there is an expectation that he will appoint one or two during his second term. During his first term, he nominated Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor.
