Its one thing for historically and socio-economically disadvantaged group to vent at the group that has enjoyed the most success and has the most advantages.

But Obama isn't actually part of that group, save by choice.

That's a fair criticism, however, its probably more accurate to say he's a member of both groups, enjoying the pluses and minuses of each. 

Nonsense. If he was actually "black" (ie; a descendant of slaves) he would not be in the position that he is today. Ugly but true.

But you wouldn't disagree that he has faced some additional discrimination (more than the average white person) because of his color and background.

I don't know because I'm not especially familiar with the details of his life (and, frankly, don't want to be). But in theory he would have done (though more for colour than background). But I'm not sure what that has to do with your main point.
