I think he is saying that it happened before he became President, and that it is a common experience of black professional men - of course implying that it's racism in action. Which I think is a crock on two counts: 1) Lots of us professional white males get mistaken for menials of various sorts, too; and 2) I don't think most professionals, black or white, spend all that much time in places where there's valet parking, so Mr. Obama is thus mistaking his own membership in an elite for common experience.
