Biography

Early life

Obama studied political science at Occidental College in Los Angeles; California. In 1979 while working on his term paper, Barack was attacked in his dorm room by Grodd, who was attempting to kill him to create an anachronism in the hopes of weakening his master, Mallus. The attempt on his life was eventually thwarted by the Legends, and shortly afterward he advised Sara Lance in his dorm room before she erased his memory of the entire ordeal.[1]

Later career

At some point between 2011 and 2012, Barack was elected as the president of the United States on Earth-1, noted by Tommy Merlyn for being a Black man to take office after Oliver Queen's disappearance in 2007.[2][3]

Obama is visited by Amanda Waller.

On October 13, 2014, at the White House in Washingon, D.C., Obama was visited by Amanda Waller to talk about the Onslaught problem. He took partial responsibility for all of this, although he admitted that he would never publicly say anything like that. Obama asked Amanda to stop and avoid wars, and she claimed to have the perfect team.[3]

In January 2015, Obama appeared alongside the Governor of California to pledge more assistance and money to help California with the enormous blaze that the state was facing.[4]

At some point before May 2016, Obama was succeeded in office by an unnamed man, whose term barely lasted long before he too was succeeded by Susan Brayden.[5] It is unknown what happened to him after the destruction of the multiverse, possibly being merged with his Earth-TUD5 counterpart into his Earth-Prime counterpart.
