The certificate was issued by GoDaddy in September 2012 for a year. As shown in the following error message, best practices State that sites with expired certificates are not generally reliable.

Expired by barackobama.com and as a wildcard certificate issued to *. barackobama.com, but is not the only certificate on the site. A Comodo certificate to http://www.barackobama.com/ shall expire at the end of October 2013.

Netcraft also points out that various government certificates have expired, ui.tn.gov for example and with the closure of the Government which can remain expired for some time. Other sites are worse: http://www.nasa.gov/ now redirects to notice.usa.gov.
