What obstacles did President Barack Obama face in his first term as US President?
Republican politicians (and Congress) who had gone so far as to take a vow to make President Obama have a one term presidency as their primary goal during that time (rather than serving the people). They were "The Party of NO". They voted against the good of the majority of the US people to seek this end when considering legislature, starting on his first days in office. They did this knowing, and despite, the negative effects that it would have on the economy, recovery, real human lives, and other realities that are not always evident on the surface of what people in politics say. They held the public hostage to their demands and obstructions.
Upon taking office as President, Barack Obama was faced with the collapse of the US financial markets and, by extension, the US economy, including the auto industry, and the continuing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, among other problems.

Does Mitt Romney still have a stake in staples?
Yes, he still retains a significant stake in Bain. However, he has not released the exact details of his actual stake, and, as his released tax filings are quite vague, it is impossible to know much more than the aforementioned generality.
Should he be elected President, he would almost certainly hand his entire financial portfolio over to a wealth management company in the form of a blind trust (as all current Presidents do), so that they could manage his finances WITHOUT him knowing the details of what was sold or traded, so as to avoid a conflict-of-interest when making decisions as President. Though many Presidential candidates do such a handover about now (i.e. when it becomes obvious that they will win their party's nomination), Romney given no indications of such a move. Do note, that this is not required at this point, however.

Why did Barack Obama win the 2012 US presidential election over Mitt Romney?
It's a matter of opinion, which makes it difficult to answer this sort of question. Supporters of the president would say he cares about average and working people, while Mitt Romney only cares about the super-wealthy. Supporters would also say that Mr. Obama wants to keep jobs in America, while Mitt Romney has a history of sending jobs to third-world countries. Also, many people believe the Republican party has moved so far to the right that it opposes women's access to contraception, opposes equal rights for gay Americans, and believes that all undocumented immigrants, even children who have lived here all their life, should be deported with no chance to ever become citizens. So, although some Americans do believe the country needs a change, they do not believe Mitt Romney would be the best candidate. Still, Mr. Romney has many supporters, and although he lost the election (this question was first asked before the election was held), 47% of Americans voted for him.
