Barack Obama's election as president occurred in which year?

Explanation:
Winning the presidency is what this question checks. Barack Obama won the nationwide vote in November 2008, becoming the first African American elected to the U.S. presidency. His term began with the inauguration in January 2009. The year 2012 marks his re-election for a second term, not the year of his first win. The other years listed aren’t associated with his election.
