Actually, no. Black people are not a majority in this country, and even if every black person voted the same way (which they do not), that would not put a president in office. As it turned out, the president carried 28 states, most of which had white majorities. And while 96% of black voters did support Obama, so did a large number of young voters, Hispanic voters, and female voters. There was a cross-section from just about every demographic. (It should also be noted that although McCain got more white male voters, 41% of white males voted for President Obama.)

But even his political opponents acknowledged that electing a black president was something special in American history.
