I don't think this is entirely accurate.

President Obama definitely appears as a black man, that is to say his skin tone doesn't really appear to be that of a mixed person. The media and people in general during the election and even to this day identify him as the first "black" President, and references to the fact that he's actually mixed are and were few and far between.
