President Barack Obama - Talk about a great political comeback! Many fail to remember that in 2000 President Obama, a state senator in Illinois at the time, "lost a U.S. Senate Democratic primary for the U.S. House of Representatives by a margin of 2 to 1." The new move that made him? Riding the early opposition bandwagon to the United States war in Iraq. The rest was pretty much history! (Photo: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

Bill Clinton - We know Bill Clinton's fall from grace story all too well. There's even a show (ScandalBET) that some may say is loosely based on his story, too! The former president made his comeback in 2010, though, being announced as "Person of the Year" by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals for promoting the benefits of following a vegan diet. In 2012, Clinton even gave President Obama a widely acclaimed endorsement speech.(Photo: Michael Loccisano/Getty Images)

Anthony Weiner - Anthony Weiner was a rising Democratic star representing a New York City district. His political star began to fall after images of his private parts were leaked on the Internet. First blaming a hacker for breaking into his Twitter account, the sheer strangeness of the story was too much to overcome. Weiner resigned and kept a low profile. That is until he announced Monday that he recieved a political columnist position at Business Insider. Now who's going to be exploiting who?(Photo: Mario Tama/Getty Images)

Marion Barry - Four years prior to being sworn in for the second time as the mayor of Washington, D.C., Marion Barry was forced from the mayor's office and later imprisoned for being caught on videotape smoking crack. The politician made the ultimate comeback, now acting as the councilman for Washington, D.C. Can't keep a good man down, can you?(Photo: Andrew Harnik/ The Washington Times /Landov)
