Yes and no. Yes Barrack Obama is the first US president, but no he is not the first BLACK president. There has been many black presidents of the countries in Africa.
============================
Obama is the first US president with any major black ancestry. He father was a native black African but his mother was white, so he is as much white as black. However he seems to prefer to think of himself as black.
============================
Because it is seem to say that if you have a drop of black (african) blood in you you are said to be black.

In order to become President, you must be a citizen of the United States. President Barack Obama was born in the United States, in Hawaii in 1961. Also, contrary to internet myths, he is not an Arab, nor does he have any Arabs in his family, and he did not visit any Arab countries till the 1980s. His father was born in Africa, his mother was born in Kansas, and he has a half-sister who was born in Indonesia.

I think the moral is that anybody can post anything on the Internet, but that posting does not make it true. On the other hand, if you are asking about other places in the world, there have certainly been black presidents or prime ministers in several African countries, including Ghana, Uganda, and South Africa.
