In The Black President, the first interpretative, grand-narrative history of Barack Obama’s presidency in its entirety, Claude A. Clegg III situates the former president in his dynamic, inspirational, yet contentious political context. He captures the America that made Obama’s White House years possible, while insightfully rendering the America that resolutely resisted the idea of a Black chief executive, thus making conceivable the ascent of the most unlikely of his successors.
In elucidating the Obama moment in American politics and culture, this book is also, at its core, a sweeping exploration of the Obama presidency’s historical environment,impact, and meaning for African Americans–the tens of millions of people from every walk of life who collectively were his staunchest group of supporters and who most starkly experienced both the euphoric triumphs and dispiriting shortcomings of his years in office. In Obama’s own words, his White House years were “the best of times and worst of times” for Black America. Clegg is vitally concerned with the veracity of this claim, along with how Obama engaged the aspirations, struggles, and disappointments of his most loyal constituency and how representative segments of Black America engaged, experienced, and interpreted his historic presidency.
Clegg draws on an expansive archive of materials, including government records and reports, interviews, speeches, memoirs, and insider accounts, in order to examine Obama’s complicated upbringing and early political ambitions, his delicate navigation of matters of race, the nature and impacts of his administration’s policies and politics, the inspired but also carefully choreographed symbolism of his presidency (and Michelle Obama’s role),and the spectrum of allies and enemies that he made along the way. The successes and the aspirations of the Obama era, Clegg argues, are explicitly connected to our current toxic political discourse. Combining lively prose with a balanced, nonpartisan portrait of Obama’s successes and failures, The Black President will be required reading not only for historians, politics junkies, and Obama fans but also for anyone seeking to understand America’s contemporary struggles with inequality, prejudice, and fear.

He’s actually half black, and one of the Worse Presidents in US history’
A divider, not a uniter.
A true Hollywood façade. Looks good on the outside, no depth or substance once past the front
A media created, media supported and media protected person propelled to the presidency by white guilt.
A five and dime Race Hustler at best.

Such a silky smooth talker, but I feel I never really knew him. After 8 years, I still felt I didn’t know him. I bet he could give an equally convincing argument/speech on the opposite side of his chosen position. Something like a lawyer, just playing his court role.
In the end, I feel he didn’t care about Black America, or America at all, just getting rich, or maybe being president. I don’t feel he really cares. Odd.

There has never been a “good” democrat president. Although we now have the worst one in history.

2 bit hustler. Instead of diversity he created division. How Barry Sotero ever was able to become President is a sad indictment on the American political system.
