The article has a point. After all, the list of Stuff White People Like doesn't include Obama.

After a summer of healthcare battles and sliding approval ratings for President Obama, the White House is facing a troubling new trend: The voters losing faith in the president are the ones he had worked hardest to attract.
New surveys show steep declines in Obama's approval ratings among whites -- including Democrats and independents -- who were crucial elements of the diverse coalition that helped elect the country's first black president.
Among white Democrats, Obama’s job approval rating has dropped 11 points since his 100-days mark in April, according to surveys by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. It has dropped by 9 points among white independents and whites over 50, and by 12 points among white women -- all groups that will be targeted by both parties in next year's midterm elections.
"While Obama has a lock on African Americans, his support among white voters seems to be almost in a free fall," said veteran Republican pollster Neil Newhouse.

I know I am.
What is your favorite flavor?
NASCAR, drag racing, Indy 500, or Formula 1?
My favorite is the Reno Nevada races. ; )
What it proves is that Whites can recognize racism applied against them. Obama is very smooth, but others in his administration and other supporters are not. Rev. Wright is not the only example.
Which, if you'll pardon the double negative, doesn't mean he won't be reelected.
It got out of hand when white wall tires no longer were popular.
Naturally the whites who no longer look forward to the loss of their liberty are a bunch of racists. The blacks who still support him at a 95%+ rate...no racism there. Just ethnic understanding and compassion.
Yes, his disapproval numbers have increased 50%
From 2% to 3%
“I thought Obama had “united” this country and the world.”
I think if Obama succeeds in uniting anyone, it will be because they are united against Obama.
Yeah but for different reasons. The few blacks that are not happy with him is because as we heard Peggy Johnson say on tv during the campaign, “If I help him he is going to help me; I won’t have to worry about paying my mortgage or my next tank of gas”.
OZero was supposed to get the “black folk” all the things that the white presidents had not given them. What the “black folk” didn’t know was that he was lying to their face. Idiots.
I’m a white chick who drives a dark blue car! That proves I’m an evil conservative!
Yup, and you're a racist for noticing that.
The Leftist plague rat liars of the LA times just *had* to call them “White” voters...Bigoted piggies!
They don’t dare tell the truth and admit that the voters they are losing are Dem moderates, and Independents by the pint.
I guess they are hoping to “shame” voters back into line, and into their votyting shackles...before the Dims loses consciousness from the losses.
And just why is this? Could it be ...racism?
He never had it...55% of whites voted for Palin and the jerk.
I heard recently, that Obamas near perfect support by Black voters had eroded from the high nineties(?) down to the mid seventies...
Wow, I feel sorry for the guy. He's gotta provide a birth certificate and step inside a church every Sunday to squelch these rumors.
Are we starting to ask too much of our leaders nowadays?
</sarcasm>
Where is the little AA kid screaming “that’s racist!”?
What were white people and many African Americans thinking? Rev Manning had this guy pegged but no one in the AA community listened.
I have said all along that the people who voted Democrat were not so much voting for Barack Obama, but voting against George W. Bush, and his brand of “compassionate conservatism” and general incompetence.
