Obama on Letterman: I Was Black Before the Election - Political News - FOXNews.com: "'Was Jimmy Carter onto something ... was this unease or poor decorum rooted in racism, or is that just something to talk about?' Letterman asked.

'First of all, I think it's important to realize that I was actually black before the election,' Obama said to huge laughs from Letterman and the audience.

Letterman quipped: 'How long have you been a black man?'

Obama replied: 'So the American people, I think, gave me this extraordinary honor. That tells you a lot, I think, a lot about where the country is at.'"

Well done, Mr. President, very well done!
