If Obama is elected, will he be the first Black US president?

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.

No, the first multiracial president

Yes, and the first answer posted is typical of democrats "I will call every dumb thing I see republican if it has nothing to do with politics, and if it does have something to do with politics, i'll believe it"

Yes sir.

First of all he isn't black. Obama’s racial background consists of the following: 50% white (mother, both sides), 43.25% Arabic (father, both sides), and 6.25% African ***** (father, one side, 1 generation removed). 12.5% is the legal threshold one must prove to claim racial status under the law. In addition, Senator Obama cannot make a sociological claim as an African American either. He was not raised as an African American, was not raised by African Americans, and was not raised in an African American neighborhood.

Abraham Lincoln was the first.
