Obama is the 1st black president of the USA

Good luck to him, I say, I dont think I would have his job for all the tea in China. Why though is he mainly described as the 1st black president? Who cares what colour he is, it's if he is fit and able to do the job that matters. Race is only an issue when we make it one. He is the 44th president, lets just leave it at that.

Whilst I can fully appreciate why black Americans are celebrating, given the appalling record of race relations in their countrys past, his ethnic background, gender or experience matter not one bit to the rest of the world if he can prove himself to be an intelligent, caring and efficent president; lets face it he dosent have a very hard act to follow, does he?

Good luck to you Mr. Obama, you have a very tough job ahead and I have a feeling you are going to need it.
