Barack Obama: Our first gay-female-Hispanic-Asian-Jewish president

Bill Clinton may have claimed the title of America's first black president, but Barack Obama has him beat in pretty much every other category.  Newsweek declared President Obama America's "First Gay President" on the cover of their rag mag this week.  What other titles does Obama hold?  As it turns out, he's not only gay, but also female, Jewish, Asian AND Hispanic. 

The Atlantic's Eric Randall has a noteworthy column out today that examines the oh-so-many cliches of Obama's presidency, each concocted by his adoring media:

First Female President: Perhaps Newsweek should have been more specific and declared Obama the "first lesbian president' because the magazine's already given him the honor of womanhood. During the 2008 campaign, Martin Linski wrote, "Obama doesn't play the sax. But he is pushing against conventional—and political party nominating convention—wisdom in five important ways, with approaches that are usually thought of as qualities and values that women bring to organizational life." The headline? "Obama: First Female President?"

In June 2010, The Washington Post's Kathleen Parker took the question mark out of the way.  "Obama: Our first female president," her headline declared. Her column made the case that his crisis management style was more typically female.
