Glenn comes off as performative in this silly dialogue. Cornel West criticized Obama throughout his presidency. And no U.S. president since Carter has had a hard sciences education. Why would a president need to understand the theory of relativity?

Obama played a role in more than a few major accomplishments that supersede his race: Dodd-Frank and CFPB; Affordable Care Act; eliminating the most wanted man in the world, Osama Bin Laden; ending the Iraq War; marriage equality; commuting the sentences of 1,200 nonviolent drug offenders; halved the veteran homeless rate in America over seven years; normalized relations with Cuba; signed the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act; Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act; repealed the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy.

I swear it's more often than not the white liberal or conservative folks obsessing about race when no one else is.
