Relevance is subjective.

Besides, it'd be historic, as Obama as the "first black president" was.

Obama being the first black president.. its historic, its inspiring for blacks... but its also irrelevant as well because in politics all that matters is policy.

let me remind you while in office he:
1. operated a torture facility in Cuba
2. drone strikes under him killed 80% civilians in the middle east
3. expanded us offensive military interventions from 2 to 7 countries that didn't attack the US
4. he was given a list of who to put in his cabinet by citibank
5. none of the people who caused the 2008 financial crisis were prosecuted or went to prison and the banks are even bigger than before
6. Tim Geithner who Obama appointed to the Treasury said on record their goal was to  help the banks
7. He passed the ACA which is Romney care and what the GOP tried to push as an alternative to single payer before G.W Bush won the presidency (leaving 30 million uninsured and millions more under-insured)
8. he didn't end the war on drugs which was put in place by Nixon to target minorities and political opponents

and I can easily add more to this list, so compared to what he did how is him being the first black president in any way remotely significant?

and here's something extra
