I think Obama wants to go down in history not only as a black president but a good one. I think his motives are genuine, but that's an opinion (this is not science). He kinda reminds me of another potential Tiger Woods, or maybe has similar aspirations.

As far as race and Oprah go that's life. People use every advantage they can get ahold of. In this case Hillary was a strong contendor for black votes and I think he did that to up his odds. It is politics afterall.
