De turno
Can someone clarify the meaning? I think it means who turn it is. Example: Obama es el presidente del turno.

The phrase de turno is idiomatic in the example sentence. It probably means of the moment/hour.

"De turno", is said about something/someone to whom/wich corresponds to offer an activity or a service in a determined moment. It is assumed there are rules that define the schedules.
At the police station: "Quiero hacer una denuncia. ¿Quién es el oficial de turno?" "I want to make an accusation. Who is the duty officer?" Supermarket thing: Mañana me toca ir al supermercado => Mañana es mi turno para ir al supermercado.
