Obama being president - why so significant

Because he's a hot black badass president.

Case solved?

It's quite sad that even if Obama was a Republican he would have probably still been elected.

He's not actually black. Only half.

I feel sometimes that the fact that people keep pointing out he's black could be interpretated as a strange sort of racism. People should just be happy that a seemingly good president has been elected.

are you dumb or bored?

I can agree with you. His colour, words and energy would have won it alone.

It's more that middle aged people in the USA were alive in a time when black people weren't allowed to use the same schools, shops or even water fountains as whites... a hell of a lot has changed in 40-50 years or so for a black man to even have had the chance of running for President, let along being elected.

he's black now shut up....
