November 6, 2012 is the date for the next Us presidential election and Barack Obama is indeed a candidate for re-election.
In 2008, Barack Obama won the Democratic nomination by defeating Hillary Clinton. He then went up against the Republican nominee, Senator John McCain of Arizona. Mr. Obama won that election and became president. In 2012, he ran for re-election. His Republican opponent was former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney; and again, Mr. Obama was the winner.
Until we as voters, vote him out of office, hopefully in 2012 the next presidential election.
In America, the President, members of Congress (House of Representatives and Senate), as well as many state and local officials are up for election. The specific candidates and offices will vary depending on the election year and the jurisdiction in question.

With all the votes counted, President Obama ended up with 332 electoral votes, more than enough to gain re-election to a second term as president.
He was US Senator for Illinois from January 2005 up until he won the Presidential election when he resigned from this post to become President.
He went by Barry until he started college.
In the presidential election, senator John McCain went up against Barack Obama.After the primaries, when the candidate for each party had been voted for,Obama was competing against John McCain.
Since he was not defeated the first time (he was elected president), it is difficult to predict whether the up-coming election will bring him a victory or bring him a defeat. Once the results are in, we will be better able to tell you what Mr. Obama's plans are.
