Maybe he wants to be the first african american President?

Al, don't be so utterly ridiculous.  You're clearly forgetting somebody.

Everybody knows that Bill Clinton holds that accolade.

He's the son of an African and an American.  Couldn't really be much more of one.

'African American' is an artificial term with an arbitrary definition, but the key part is that it is used interchangeably with 'black'.  Obama is black (sufficiently), so he is therefore African American.

The descriptive definition is the better of the two in this case, anyway.
