MSNBC hosts agreed this weekend that white voters hold President Obama to a higher standard than his white predecessors because he is black.
"[Obama] now has a specific record of governing," MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry said today on her show. "A record that, I contend, because of his race will be held to a much higher standard than it would have been for a white incumbent. Those white voters who found what they were looking for in 2008 will not necessarily be so enthusiastic in 2012."
Alex Wagner, host of MSNBC's NOW, agreed. "I think race absolutely has to do with the conversation about reelection," she said.

It's NOT because the Obama brand over-promised, and undelivered, it's because WHITE PEOPLE ARE RACISTS!!! WHO KNEW!
The alternative side of MSNBC's racism is "we shouldn't have expected Obama to follow though on his promises, because he is BLACK!". How do these klowns get by with this crap?
What a pathetic excuse. the "You aren't ALLOWED to citisize Obama because he's BLACK!" excuse isn't going to fly this time. Obama promised the sheeple Unicorns, and delivered a schit sandwich, instead.
Anybody remember Peggy Joseph from the Obama Orlando Rally?
You need to be more nuanced and recognize that Zer0 is a white black.
Earth to MSMBC:
Your president is graded F because he’s a vapid dork.
Were he white, he’d still be a vapid dork.
He is the ultimate example of a quota baby...all show and no talent.
Vapid, vapid, vapid, dork, dork, DORK!!
“Melissa Harris-Perry.”
Beware of women with three names...
Maybe the practice went all the way back to his time at Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard, which is why we have never seen his University transcript?
What was it they used to say about someone who spends all his money as soon as he gets it?
Black dog?
Yes.
To say I am sick of this crap is an understatement.
This is just part of
“He’s black so you can’t criticize him”.
Obama was selected by the commies SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE his skin color is a scrutiny shield.
And all first names at that.
But for being black skinned, Obama would not have been elected.
Household incomes are DOWN $3,000 because of Obama.
And he's playing 100 rounds of golf that I am paying for!
It's not his skin color. It's his policies!
We are expected to give him more slack because he is black.
Nahhhh.
Just look at the numbers:
joblessness,
college students un or under employed,
housing price declines and rampant foreclosures,
increases in food stamps and welfare,
increases in disability applications because people can’t find jobs,
fuel prices shooting up,
food prices showing significant increases due to inflation,
ineffectiveness at fixing social security,
ineffectiveness at fixing Medicare,
etc.
Those numbers have nothing to do with the color of Obama’s skin. They are directly related to his policies and ineffectual leadership.
To the headline: What a joke. If BHO had been white, he would have already been impeached.
Obama is getting a helluva lot of passes because he is black. Bush would never have survived three years pulling the crap Obama has.
