The reason some might describe Obama as "exotic", Senator Harkin, is that he isn't really one of us. "Us" as in Americans, don'cha see, Tom? If he'd spent his formative years in Denver, Tulsa or Chattanooga, it might be different. But he spent his formative years in Indonesia. So he ain't really too much like us Americans, just by his upbringing.
I'm surprised that this stark reality has escaped your notice. Are you stupid or something?

How about just plain “weird”? There are millions of genuinely Black men who have the shared experiences of playing Little League ball with white boys, or playing in the school band with them, or working after school with them at a local fast food place. This weird individual was in Indonesia and at an exclusive private school in HI. He never has been one of us.

As an off-topic aside, your FR name makes me literally LOL every time I see it. :)
