Is Obama a black candidate?

So recently, I am getting the sense that people think of Barak Obama as a black presidential candidate? Apparently there has been all this talk about how he could be the first black president? What the hell? Are people nuts? Obama is NOT black. He is mixed: his father is Kenyan and his mother is caucasian. I thought this was absolutely absurd.

Do other people think of Obama as a black presidential candidate? Does this mean his matralineal side doesn't count? If anything, he represents blacks and whites equally.
