Which CNN reporter was it? John King, bless his precious heart.
Cnn's John king just called Obama the "second African American president" … Since Clinton was the first, obviously #Inaug2013

And John King just called Obama our 2nd African American president…

Twitter users helpfully try to come up with an explanation.
CNN just said "he is our second african american president." I guess they are counting 2008 and 2012 Obama as 2 entirely different people.
