President Obama was elected to the presidency in 2008; he was then re-elected in November 2012. If you are asking about his term as a Senator, he was a senator from the state of Illinois from 1996 to 2004; he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004 and served there until he left to run for president.

Barack Obama served two terms. He won the 2008 election, and was re-elected in 2012. He was not allowed to seek a third term-- the 22nd amendment to the Constitution does not permit anyone to serve more than two terms as president.

He was elected to the US Senate in 2004, and Senate terms are 6 years long. So, this is his first term as a US Senator. Before that he had a couple terms in the Illinois state senate.
