Moore's President

From Yahoo:
"Michael Moore Slams Obama: History Will Only Remember You Were a Black President"

Michael Moore sees President Obama's legacy as set. The progressive documentary filmmaker couldn't help but express his disappointment with the legislative accomplishments of the politician. 
"When the history is written of this era, this is how you'll be remembered: he was the first black president," Moore said during a discussion at The Hollywood Reporter's video lounge at the Toronto Film Festival.  "OK, not a bad accomplishment, but that's it," the director said. "That's it, Mr. Obama. 100 years from now, 'he was the first black American that got elected president' and that's it. Eight years of your life and that's what people are going to remember. Boy, I got a feeling, knowing you, that -- you'd probably wish you were remembered for a few other things, a few other things you could've done." "So, it is, on that level, a big disappointment," Moore said. 
 
^ I usually don't care for Moore, but he has a good point about Obama. Technically though Obama is the first bi-racial President as he is half-white and half-black. The idea that after 8 years people will only remember your race is sad. ^
