Now, we all know that perception is all that counts.
Most blacks vote democratic. He tells them he feels their pain. He appoints a couple of blacks to some token positions in his administration. He makes sure that he is seen with many blacks at speeches and whereever he travels.
And, to top it all off and to prove once and for all how black he really is, he establishes his post-presidency office in the middle of Harlem. How much more black can he get, for crying out loud?!?!?!?

At the time he did this, I felt it was all for publicity,and I still do - - wonder how much time he's spent there in the last 5 years - my guess a total of 5 days or less.
