If AI's history is correct, his mother might have, but highly unlikely
Barack did, as based upon his stateside locations.

AI Overview

Based on available information, there is no credible evidence that
Barack Obama worked for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). His
early career includes time as a community organizer, a civil rights
attorney, and a lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School. He
then entered politics, serving in the Illinois State Senate and the US
Senate before being elected president. 

While his mother, Ann Dunham, worked for various US government
agencies and affiliated NGOs like the Ford Foundation and USAID in
Indonesia and other countries, some speculate that these organizations
might have connections to the CIA. However, these are speculative
claims and are not definitive proof that she was a CIA operative
