Election victor of 2008 and 2012 (5)

I believe the answer is:

obama

(Other definitions for obama that I've seen before include "one with top job in Washington" , "Trump's predecessor" , "Politician" , "US president born in Hawaii" , "in the White House" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
