Well... technically Obama is half black or half white depending how you look at it.

A question: If you are mixed race say 1/2 white and 1/2 other why do most call themselves the "other"?

Fact is George Washington was the first President of the country "The United States of America" the first 7 Presidents were before The Consittution......which made the United States.

John Hanson was the president under the Articles of Confederation.

Gerald Ford was also a very good skier(in spite of the plethora of pics of him falling down). A skill he perfected in Michigan.

He's also the only Republican I've ever voted for for President. He lost, go figure.

edited for spelling
