I'd rather people talk more about his politics and future
decisions besides the fact that he's the first "black"
president.

People aren't fractions. They don't come in halves and quarters.
And people are talking about both things. The historical signifigance of his race is history-making, but what he does from tomorrow on is what people are really concerned about and are hopeful for. His history is important in that respect because he has had experiences no other president has. No one thinks he can be successful JUST because he is black, but he has made it this far DESPITE the fact that his race would have been a disadvantage, and STILL made it to the top seat in the country. Now we'll see what he can do.
