Well Obama truly be the first "black" president?

As the campaign trail continues, Barack Obama has become a greater figure as a black politician. He has received much criticism for his race throughout the political journey. Well Obama be known as the “first black president?” It is said that Obama was “born to a Kenyan father and a mother from Kansas. Obama's favorite book as a teenager was Malcolm X's autobiography.” So far, there hasn’t been any sign of Obama focusing on the needs of the black community. Some people believe that he is trying to show that he is in dependent from the black community. Is this part of his tactic to win the primary election?

He has been trying to raise money for his campaign by hosting fund-raisers where “more than 2,000 people had bought $100 tickets. But the event quickly sold out, forcing Obama fans to search for tickets on Craigslist.” As Obama brings his campaign to New York, many Democrat New Yorkers are beginning to side with him. One of these New Yorkers includes Theodore C. Sorenson. Soreson was on of John F. Kennedy’s closest advisors. ‘“I’m a New Yorker,” Mr. Sorenson said, “but I want to support the best candidate. I don’t dislike Senator Clinton, but I’m for Obama.”’ Whatever happened to New Yorkers backing each other up? I guess when politics are involved you have to go with the “black” man.
