Depending on what issues you use to rate him. He the most socially liberal president ever.
Well some of these issues there has clearly been a movement towards liberialism since the mid 20th century but to consider this the entirety of being "left wing" would seem a bit bizzare if it wasnt so wide spread.
Even on these social issues the broader environment is clearly a much bigger factor and if anything you could argue Obama's tokenism helped distract from the changes needed to address them.
A Black president in itself didnt end widespread systemic racism, again arguably made it easier to cover up how little was being done.
