It does not irritates me in the least. I get irritated when I hear GWB try to talk.

I would agree. It was cheap. Especially when President Bush assigned more black people in upper level positions than any previous President, and Former President Clinton had none.
Of course, President Bush really didn't care that they were black or not, and Former President Clinton was just choosing from the best people he had available at that time. I don't want to suggest that our Presidents do that sort of thing, certainly not without proof positive. That would be unpatriotic and unjust.

You should not let things irritate you, this will cause stress and we all know stress is a big killer. Try to meditate or perhaps some yoga or relaxing music would help. Take care of yourself.
Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison in 1998 called Clinton "the first Black president," saying "Clinton displays almost every trope of blackness: single-parent household, born poor, working-class, saxophone-playing, McDonald's-and-junk-food-loving boy from Arkansas," and, despite his career accomplishments, comparing Clinton's scrutinized sex life to the stereotyping and double standards that blacks typically endure.
I do not find this irritating at all--it is quite beautiful.

I don't like it either. And it's an insult to black people! It's like calling a white CEO who's supposedly "in touch" with black people the "first black CEO." He's STILL a white guy who's part of a system that favors whites! I'm sure that if there was a usual Christian guy as president supposedly acting "Jewish," no one would dare dream to call him "the first Jewish president!"
Any decent person would save that distinction for a real black President.

Me and I have heard it a lot. Anyone who hasn't heard it has only to google for it. Even Hillary has said it.

In my opinion, "irritate" and "embarrassing" are gargantuan understatements.
The fact that he has been and will always been referred to as that is ridiculous, inept and blatantly moronic.

I guess we don't hang out in the same place. The first time I ever heard that comment is when I read your post. Where do you hear that, and who is saying it??

Not only is it embarrassing, it's patronizing and most of all, wrong.
