Obama’s race is something really exceptional and much different from the past elections. It is known to all that Barack Obama is the first African-American president and he is probably the last president from a completely different ethnic group. This is probably true that Obama, being from the different ethnic group, was better at national race relations. I think that he had a better understanding of the sensitive issues like discrimination and race. Depending on the understanding of these sensitive matters, Obama used to look for the benefits of everyone irrespective of their racial background.
