Even at the end of his second term, Barack Obama is finding ways to blame others for his failures.
At the beginning of his presidency, everything was George W. Bush’s fault. After several years — and long after the Bush-blaming had outstayed its welcome — Obama finally found a new scapegoat. Suddenly, all of the administration’s shortcomings had to do with a racist electorate.
At one point Obama even claimed that racism holds all black people back, including his own family. It was an absurd argument from a man who was elected twice to be President of the United States.
But the absurdity of the argument hasn’t stopped Obama from making it again and again through his tenure as president. And he hasn’t stopped now that he’s serving his final months in the oval office.
Barack Obama has now served two full terms as President of the United States. Despite the fact that he was elected by a majority-white electorate, he still seems to think the United States is full of a bunch of racists.
In an interview aired Wednesday on CNN, President Obama described how he thinks people may view him differently than other presidents because of his race.
”I think there’s a reason attitudes about my presidency among whites in northern states are very different from whites in southern states,” Obama told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria.
Obama described how the “birther” movement, fueled in large part by President-elect Donald Trump, affected him.
“Are there folks whose primary concern about me has been that I seem foreign — the other? Are those who champion the birther movement feeding off of bias? Absolutely,” he said.
The “birther” movement didn’t start because of the color of Obama’s skin. It started because he was a man who lived his childhood in a foreign country who was, for the majority of his presidency, unable to locate his long-form birth certificate. But these real concerns apparently never occurred to Obama. He would rather call his opponents racist than acknowledge that they had real concerns.
Right. What he is is a muzzie & said if things ever got tight , he would stand with the muslims.
Time to get him out. & fumigate the white mosque
This one doesn’t like him because he’s an anti-American idiot. If some one doesn’t like Obama but respects the hell out of Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Allen West, Clarence Thomas, etc. etc., are they still a racist?
Southern folks don’t like you because you are an anti-American, disloyal, lying POS, that was raised in a Moslem country and hates Christians.
Harsh words to follow.
Actually, millions of people don’t like you because you are a pompous ass.
Don’t want to speak for my nabes down south, but 0; they probably don’t like you cause you’re red.
The Ferguson shop owner didn't like Michael Brown because he was black; it had nothing to do with the assault and the robbery.
George Zimmerman didn't like Sweet Little Trayvon because he was black; it had nothing to do with casing neighborhood homes and attempted murder.
Southern whites don't like Barack Hussein because he is black; it had nothing to do with being culturally an Indonesian Muslim, hating America, and being a communist tyrant.
We dont like you because you hate America and have spent 8 years trying to destroy our country. Now, I hope that sets the record straight.
The ONLY guy to force Obama to finally show what he claimed to be his birth certificate was Donald Trump. Trump turned my head and from that point on I saw Trump in a different light: Trump was not going to be dissuaded or sidetracked by PC or the media. AFAIC, the “birther” thing is a badge of honor for Trump.
If only he could read the replies on this thread!!
We don’t like Obama because he is an asshole!
its why you give them no quarter. they are implacable.
Dear Zero.... Do the lies and deceit count? ? ?
I hate your white part, too.
What you got to say about that, you muslim piece of excrement?
Go to hell.
I didn’t like Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Gore, Kerry or any other Democrat either. How does he explain that?
Jim, the problem is not that he’s black, the problem is that he’s stupid.
How’d he know. Lol
He pegs the meter at 100 on all eight criterion!
He was elected by primarily whites who were determined they would vote for a historically unqualified black guy when given the opportunity to prove their openness. Obama will go down in history known for his signature achievement, being the first black president.
Change last 2 words of title to “I suck” and it makes perfect sense
