Probably, but it may depend on your definition of black. First off, he is half-black, half-white. Second, some historians think that Warren Harding's great-grandmother was black.
edit--maybe the Harding thing is just rumor/speculation... Still fun to think about.

Well under white colonization he will be, however before the early settlers came to America I am sure the native American Indians would have had a President that they called "Chief" so technically he is not the first none white person to lead America.

No, he will be the first bi-racial US president. But, if he is elected, he might very well be the LAST bi-racial president you will see for a VERY long time.
Just as all Republicans are being blamed for the Bush administration, so will all black people be blamed for Obama's ineptitude and failures.

I remember that people called Clinton America's first black President because he was so popular in the African American community.

No, actually Warren Harding's grandmother was black, so he's the first African-American President.
