Beyond the historical significance, even if obama does not win the presidential race I think he and Michelle are leaving a legacy for the African American community, setting a standard concerning marriage and commitment among black people.
I do because when look on tv you do not see any positive black African american couples together. Even if there are together the are not marriage . So I think of seeing them together and knowing that they are not in the entertainment industry, but are in high position in America is a positive.
