Horrible! Obama Blames Racism For His Lower Approval Ratings
Gateway Pundit ^ | January 19, 2014 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 01/19/2014 12:54:01 PM PST by Hojczyk

Obama blamed his sinking popularity on racism in his latest interview with the >New Yorker.

It couldn’t possibly be his failed economic policies, the fact that he lied to Americans for years about Obamacare or his destructive foreign policy. No, it’s racism. Bloomberg reported:

President Barack Obama said that racial tensions may have softened his popularity among white voters within the last two years, according to a story posted on the New Yorker magazine’s website today.

“There’s no doubt that there’s some folks who just really dislike me because they don’t like the idea of a black president,” Obama said in the article by David Remnick, appearing in the magazine’s Jan. 27 edition.

“Now, the flip side of it is there are some black folks and maybe some white folks who really like me and give me the benefit of the doubt precisely because I’m a black president,” Obama said in his most direct comments on how race has affected his political standing since he’s been in office.

Obama is saying being black and incompetent are equivalent. Pretty racist assumption.

Int’l Commies, 1950: Your mission, Mrs. Dunham, should you choose to accept it, is to get yourself a grandbaby we can groom to be POTUS. However, this specimen needs to be reasonably black to fung shei with our demographic plans. We have a ton of black studs to ensure ‘consummation’.

Grandma Dunham: Thank heavens. You babysit Stanley for a while. That child is giving me migraines.

Int’l Commies, 1960: Start knitting, you are about to be a grandma.

"Obama Blames Racism For His Lower Approval Ratings"

Maybe the approvals rating reflect that not 100% of African Americans support him, or his leftist policies.

It’s come to this. I wonder if he will continue to ratchet the racism into the midterms.

This is a balanced statement.
Don’t think there is any meat on the bones of this claim.

“There’s no doubt that
there’s some folks who just really dislike me because
they don’t like the idea of a black president,

Now, the flip side of it is
there are some black folks and maybe some white folks
who really like me and give me the benefit of the doubt
precisely because I’m a black president,” Obama said

I’m not too worried. I view the risk as minor at most.

Hey Barry, if you were white and this much of a failure, your poll numbers will still be low. If you were black and NOT a Marxist, but a Conservative, your poll numbers would be higher.

Remember the old adage: what goes around, comes around. All the evil and misery this punk has inflicted on this nation and people will come back to visit him many times over. Count. He may escape justice in this life but not in the next. Satan will be waiting on him and the Wookiee as they depart this life. Please do not allow these two wretches to live rent free in your head. They are so not worth it.

We judge a man by his charactor and not the color of his skin. He is a dope dressed in a fine suit who was pushed by affirmatve action

And just which aspects of his job performance would I approve of if he was *entirely* white?

Here's the dirty little secret: Obama's talking about white democrats. He's not talking about people like us. Obama knows we didn't like Clinton... or Gore or Kerry. Hell, we don't even like McCain...
