Barack Hussein Obama was elected the 44th president of the United States on Tuesday, sweeping away the last racial barrier in American politics with ease as the country chose him as its first black chief executive.
Obama is quite comfortable playing the race card.
Religious Ties: Is Obama a Muslim? Is he a Christian? Nobody is 100% sure, but it is true that Obama was raised in a Muslim family and at one time attended an Islamic school. He currently claims to be a convert to Christianity, but some are concerned about his Muslim upbringing.

The issue of him being an "African American" is a misnomer. He is only half black. People, including he, tend to forget or ignore this for convenience. His girls are more "African American" than he is. His mother was white.

"Messiah" according to Merriam Webster:
"a professed or accepted leader of some hope or cause."

I think the reason he's looked at such is because of the political climate in the last few decades. Not because he's black, or anything else. People are getting sick of the status quo. I never thought I'd see a person of color in the White House in my lifetime but this is where it has left us all. Will he deliver? I doubt it but I will reserve judgment.
If Dubya and Slick Willie isn't on Obama's Christmas card list, they should be. That's how he got there imo. The presidency is usually the "WASP club".
