Barack "Barry"<ref name="joke">"OBAMAMANIA!" blog post by Sharkatron3000 on TheRealEffingDeal.com</ref> Obama was elected as the 44th President of the United States in a time of national and global peril. While his predecessor was incumbent, a crisis had exploded with N.B.E. 01's, the loss of the AllSpark, and a swarm of alien combatants waging a clandestine, highly unconventional war in hotspots across the world.

When he was running for election, Obama had blown off a question about alien visitors with a joke.<ref name="joke" /> But as president, his fear that the Autobots' presence attracted the Decepticons led him to appoint a National Security Advisor that was a constant thorn in the side of the joint human/Autobot military force, which found itself increasingly hamstrung in direct proportion to the gravity of the Decepticon threat.

...we aren’t sure Barry is so ready to tackle the real issues of EXTRATERRESTRIAL life, especially when it involves an INVASION FORCE!{{#if:|{{{quote2}}}}}{{#if:Sharkatron3000The Real Effing Deal.com|Sharkatron3000{{#if:The Real Effing Deal.com|, The Real Effing Deal.com|}}|}}

Revenge of the Fallen film

After coming to power, Obama retained Admiral General Morshower as the [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff|{{#if:||Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff}}]].

Even though NEST had successfully destroyed the Decepticon infiltrators in Shanghai, China, the new President of the United States was horrified by the destruction caused during the operation. President Obama sent Director Theodore Galloway to Diego Garcia to outline the White House's criticisms of NEST's operations and their alliance with the alien Autobots, in particular Optimus Prime's open invitation for Autobot refugees to come to Earth. They feared that reason the Decepticons being on Earth was to seek vengeance upon the Autobots and their allies, and when General Morshower attempted to defend Major Lennox and his men's judgement by stating they were above reproach, Galloway stated that as far as the President was concerned, nobody was above reproach. He directly asked Optimus Prime that if the President felt that the United States' national security was better served by having the Autobots leave Earth, would they do so peacefully? Optimus Prime agreed, but bluntly told Galloway to pass along a message to the President: What if the Autobots leave, and the humans are wrong?

Soon afterwards, Optimus Prime was killed in battle defending Sam Witwicky, and The Fallen began his invasion of Earth. Among the casualties were Paris, France, and the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt; Obama was flown to a secure bunker. Appalled with the loss of over seven thousand lives (including American sailors), the President ordered the deactivation of NEST and the immediate transportation of the Autobots back to Diego Garcia, deciding instead to focus on a coordinated US military strategy against the Decepticon threat. Galloway also revealed that while battle plans were being drawn up, Obama was exploring "every diplomatic solution" as well and handing over Sam Witwicky was being considered as well.

Lennox would end up taking his NEST team on an unauthorised mission into foreign territory without permission and also tricking Galloway into getting stranded in said country, but he's the hero and it worked out okay so as far as we know Obama let it slide. Revenge of the Fallen

Sam's hand getting crushed in a smiling contest.

Following Sam Witwicky's involvement in two events which saved the world from Decepticon actions, he was given a medal from President Barack Obama at the White House. Sam hoped the medal would have offered him more leverage into employment, but it did not, and at one specific job prospect he was turned away because the interviewer was not impressed, as the employees there were "mostly Republican".

The Real Effing Deal

Sharkatron3000 posted a clip on The Real Effing Deal from an interview of Obama when he was still running for president.

If you are elected and you learned that the government knew aliens had visited Earth, and the public didn't know...would you be sure the public found out?{{#if:|{{{quote2}}}}}{{#if:KGAN 2 reporter|KGAN 2 reporter{{#if:|, {{{3}}}|}}|}}
It depends on what these aliens were like, and whether they were Democrats or Republicans.{{#if:|{{{quote2}}}}}{{#if:Barack Obama|Barack Obama{{#if:|, {{{3}}}|}}|}}

Sharkatron3000 took the interview as evidence that the President is completely unprepared for the prospect of alien visitors, because he treated the question as a joke.

Later, Leo Spitz cited the President's actions as a justification for his own video-blogging. The Real Effing Deal

When military forces failed to restrain a resurrected Ravage, NEST recommended an air strike on Ravage's bolthole. Barack Obama was asked to authorize the air strike, and did. Tales of the Fallen #5
