Obama is a black candidate in the same sense that Bill Clinton was the "blackest president so far." It's not so much a matter of his own heritage as it is of those he seems to represent and of those who stand to benefit from his actions as president. More appropriately, he's a candidate for the middle and lower classes as well as for the minority groups.
His own cultural heritage comes in to the equation only when the media attacks him because of it or when he plays the card to the benefit of his campaign.
Surely we wouldn't ask a candidate who claims to be for the poor to verify such claims with a years worth of bank statements.
