FILE - In this Aug. 23, 2008, file photo, then-Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama D-Ill., appears at a campaign stop in Springfield, Ill. He was a first-term senator-turned-president. A former law professor with little experience in economics or management. When he walked into the White House he had one, clear job: Piece together the shards of a shattered U.S. economy. It wasn’t smooth and it wasn’t fast, but Obama ultimately succeeded. Obama will leave behind an economy far stronger than the one he inherited by most measures. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green, File) (AP)
