Obama is black...or is he?
His mother was white. His father was black. So he's therefore of mixed race and it's no more accurate to describe him as black than it would be to say he's white. Not that it should matter (although of course it is significant).

I don't really care though. He seems fit for the job and more importantly is sure to be better than that arse Bush that we've had to put up with for the last 8 years.
