I really hope that one day we will have progressed far enough that the skin color or ethnic heritage of our presidents is ignored by the history books--ideally diminishing to a factoid on the same class with "so and so hated broccoli".

I also hope (and think) that we will get to that point, but that doesn't mean the history leading there won't be important, and things like Obama becoming the first non-white president will likely be remembered as key things which helped get there, next to people like Rosa Parks.
