Obama is just as much white as he is black. And I think there's some other races in there too. That's one of the two big things that make him, arguably, the most remarkable candidate to come along in decades.
One: His racially diverse ancestry, because of what that will mean to the rest of the world if he gets elected.
Two: His unique and extremely rare talent. I mean, there have been many other very intelligent candidates and a few with high level oratorial talent, but he has something else so unusual there may not be a name for it, or at least, I can't think of the name for it...
