Editor, In all record-keeping, be it sports or Congress or birth records, the most important thing is getting the factual data correct.
In that vain, I have to make one thing perfectly clear based on fact: Obama is not black. He is bi-racial. He was born to African and Caucasian parents; therefore, he is not the first black president, but rather the first bi-racial president of African and Caucasian decent.
I bring this up because the world media acknowledges Obama as being black. Did he somehow unbirth his Caucasian side?
