Near the end of a bumpy first year in office, President Obama readied for a Christmas vacation in Hawaii, but before he left, he called on a group of five ministers for a spiritual recharge. Like previous prayer calls, this one was more personal than political.

President Obama is not a black man in the way most people think of it. His wife Michelle is directly descended from people who suffered from slavery. Barack Obama was basically raised by a single white mother and his white grandparents in Hawaii. The terrible history of slavery, and the recovery from it left a deep impact on most African Americans. Barack doesn't have any of this in his background.
