AI explanation
Barack Obama was elected President of the United States on November 4, 2008, becoming the first African-American to win the office. He was then inaugurated and took office on January 20, 2009. Because the question asks when he was 'elected,' the correct year is 2008, not 2009, which is when his term of office began.
