Obama: Some People Dislike Me Because They Don't Like That I'm Black
breitbart ^ | 1/19/14

On Sunday, The New Yorker released an interview with President Barack Obama in which the president stated that his approval ratings had been suppressed due to racism. “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 stated. “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’s current approval rating is down to 39 percent according to Gallup; his approval rating in the black community remains extraordinarily high, although it is significantly lower now than it was when he was re-elected.

Obama’s overall approval ratings have tumbled coincident with the failed rollout of Obamacare, as well as his mishandling of the Syria and Iran crises. Obama’s supporters have often suggested that political difficulties he experiences are attributable to generalized racial anxiety.

Playing the race card. Not surprising but disappointing coming from an elected leader in high office.

He could be as white as my lily white Irish ass and I'd still hate what he's doing to this country. It has nothing to do with how he looks or his race, it's his extreme left politics and his destroying of our great nation with his policies and his love of socialism and his hatred of America that irks me about him.

To: bestintxas On the face of it, his comments concerning race and his approval are true, seem calm rational and considered

You must be a "holler racism seminar" attendee. Are you drinking Koolaid with a tin foil hat? Are you serious?

I could care less why he thinks I despise him.

I don’t care how BLACK one is, I’s the PINKO/RED that I dislike.

I don’t hate him because he’s black. I don’t even hate him.

I just want him, and the millions of others like him GONE.

I want an AMERICAN president. One that loves his country and wants to preserve this nation, and its Constitution.

Really has nothing to do with his color, as much as he likes to think it does.

No, you’re half black, and that is still no excuse.

13.1% of the US population is black, and 85% of blacks approve, so if he weren't black, his approval rate would be about 30%.

Isn't pulling out the "race card" a sign that someone is badly losing an argument -- right before they introduce "Hitler" or "Nazi" into the argument (Godwin's Law).

He’s President of the United States fercryinoutloud ! Elected twice ! Pretending that he’s not an idiot (which he could control) and pretending that he stinks because he’s black (which he cant control) means that he’ll never even try to be better. “I don’t suck because I suck, you only think I suck because I think you hate black people” - it’s just no rational way to run a railroad. He’s awful and he knows it and he’s pretending. Egad.

That may be the biggest pant-load of crap I've ever heard a person use to self-justify themselves.

On the one hand, 'please feel sorry for me because I'm a black man in a white man's world' - but hang on a minute, this really is a great gig, because people let me get away with almost anything because I'm a black man in a white man's world.'

'Is this a great country, or what?'

NO, clown, I dislike you intensely because you are RED, and abhor what you are doing to America without amending the US Constitution that you hate so much. My hatred of you has absolutely NOTHING to do with your skin color.

You mean because you hired Eric ‘my people’ Holder and whole list of other anti white AH’s, You mean because you sat in a Black Liberation Theology church for 20 years? , You mean because if you had a son he look just like Trayvon? You mean because you support ‘equal outcomes’ and ‘equal justice’? You mean because in general you support a whole litany of anti white BS.

Why would anyone not like you ‘because you are black’ ?

I think the best way to make sport with this is to repost it with a slight change:

“Obama: Some People Dislike Me Because They Don’t Like That I’m Gay”

You have to admit that it would open a few cans of worms.

If he's talking about what's in his heart, I agree.

Is Obama saying that he acts the way he does because he is black? He encourages our children to use marijuana because he is black? He hates white people because he is black?

What else ya got???

Nothing else?? THAT’S IT?!?

That's what I was thinking. Wow, the crushing scandals and complete and utter failure of every policy foreign and domestic must have really gotten to bammy and company.

They have used up every excuse. They have thrown every designated mort under the bus. They have run out of every even remotely interesting distraction issue. Now we're back to racism? Gee, what'll it be next week, blame Bush?
