Since President Obama is still in office, it is too soon to tell what impact he had. At this point, we can say that when he was elected in 2008, he became the first black president in US history, which certainly made an impact, especially for young people and minorities. But the impact of any president is usually not decided until after he is out of office for a while and historians can look back on what he achieved (or failed to achieve).
