It was in 2008 that Barack Obama became the first African-American to win the White House.
His victory was a turning point in the US’ tumultuous history of race relations.
So, eight years later, after securing two presidential terms, what legacy does Obama leave behind?
Domestic policy
During Obama’s presidency, the number of Americans without health insurance has hit historic lows.

Actually, John Hanson, the actual first President was also black The racist islamo commie ali-bama was NOT first… he is not even a US citizen. What's more, he is half white.
he is mixed mama was white. it would be interesting if there was a chosen one. my o my how things would change. in my opinion really don’t think they will ever be one nor a woman president. the book of law has many rules unspoken to the public from our founding fathers if you call them that. they made it known there will never be a true African American world leader after what we have done in history.
Not even one black president?
He's half cast ,BLACK AND WHITE PARENTS.
Obama: First black president
Trump: First orange president
HaHa. #1 he's not American, period.
Thanks to his "legacy" you will not see another 'black' President for another 50 years. Total fail.
You can tell he ain’t full African American
He not black
I thot he was 👩🏻🦰👨🏾🦳👨🏽🦲👈🏼Obama
His Mom is white.. so that means he's bi-racial. Facts don't lie.
Joseph Jenkins Roberts was the first black president so sad people lie lmao!
love Obama. thank u Obama all the African American are happy that u are here I'm African American I hope you read this message❤️❤️.
Its only one Race, the Human Race divided by skintone
He was the 8th Black President
President FAILURE.
He's not even black, he's mixed. 😂
If I were black, I'd be angry that the first "black" president was actually only half-black, and raised entirely by wealthy white people. Obama was a faux black president. Now, Jesse Jackson in the 80's, or Nina Turner today – THOSE are real candidates to be the first black president. Obama was just something to placate the masses. It's ridiculous.
After Hudreds year!, Racist nations.
Obama is not black, he's biracial.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha…This is great… You morons voted for the WRONG BLACK PRESIDENT….You jumped the gun and went for the first one…Ha ha …idiots…You will have a VERY HARD TIME trying to do this again. If this guy (Obama) said he would ruin your lives…you still would have voted for him. You are "color-blind". You don't care about ANY issues, you just care that the candidate is the same RACE as you. You know it and that's it. Any "WHITE" person as president would have been impeached with your "BLACK" person's record. Good F-ing luck next time…..Your last choice REALLY messed up the country.
So basically, he did both good and bad as a president, just like all of the others.
