While a stream of top Obama advisers have peeled away – for academia, for a return to private life – over the last four years, several of his closest allies in the administration have toughed it out. Some of them, like Attorney General Eric Holder, survived seemingly against the odds, with droves of Republicans demanding his resignation by the end. Others, like Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, had a to-do list that was simply too long to abandon a couple years in. If President Obama wins a second term, it's doubtful the entire cast will commit to another four years. But as Election Day, and then Inauguration Day, approaches, here's a look back at the figures who helped define Obama's entire -- and controversial -- term.

- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
