While Bill Clinton was jokingly called this because he was so supportive of black issues and had so many friends in the black community, Mr. Clinton was (and is) white.

Barack Obama (the 44th President of the US, born August 4, 1961) is widely considered the "first black president of the United States," although his mother was white.

Barack Obama became President of the US on January 20th, 2009.
