In a wide-ranging interview with the New Yorker, President Obama characteristically saw fit to cast aspersions on those who disagree with him. Obama told David Remnick:
There’s no doubt that there’s some folks who really just dislike me because they don’t like the idea of a black President.
Now it’s true that Obama went on to say that there are many voters, both black and white, who give him the benefit of the doubt on account of his race. What this indicates is a man who sees everything in terms of race. Or put another way, Obama views the world in black and white.
As I write this, it is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. My dislike of President Obama isn’t a matter of the color of his skin, but rather because of the content of his character or lack thereof.
AD FEEDBACK
I dislike President Obama because of his petulance. What other President would tell the opposition party in his first meeting with them, “I won. I’m the president,”? What other President would intervene in a local matter and declare that its police department had “acted stupidly” while admitting he did not have all the facts? What other President would make the Dalai Lama leave the White House through a side entrance with a big pile of garbage awaiting him? What other President would tell the Prime Minister of Israel to let himself out of the White House? What other President would unceremoniously return a bust of Sir Winston Churchill to the British? What other President would while traveling abroad describe his country as “arrogant, derisive and dismissive?”

So paint the SOB lily-white. Won’t change anything. I have NEVER, in all of my 64 years, despised another human being as much as I do Obama. I saw his cards on day one.
It’s not because he is black, but because he acts like some of the worst stereotypes of blacks. We don’t call him Obamamugabe without reason.
Holy Crap. BUMP.
The “race card” has been for the most part, “declined”.
It’s “racist” to not like Soetoro because he plays the race card all of the time? Weird.
Mere tip of the iceberg, friend.
Stupid GOP could likely have won the 2008 election if they had the b___s to release stuff like this.
As I told a co-worker, "Oh honey you have given me so many reasons to dislike you but your race is not even on the list."
I thought my black manager was going to have a breakdown she was laughing so hard.
Unfortunately, it’s still aceepted at the highest levels, such as Holder’s Dept Of “Justice”. If this epidemic were being perpetrated upon blacks by whites, we’d be hearing about “open season on black people”. We heard it anyway when one man used his gun to defend his life against a black thug bashing his head into concrete.
The media won’t cover it, the law won’t adress it for what it is (NOT a string of “random, unrelated” acts), and black politicians turn it on its head to make non-blacks (whom in their minds are all white, even though all the victims haven’t been white, though they’ve all been non-black) the “victims”.
Or they try to relate it to gang warfare in which gangsters kill each other, sometimes also murdering innocents wirh their “spray and pray” method of retaliation. Even the Mafia, evil as it was, didn’t do that.
“The “race card” has been for the most part, “declined”.”
Well put; in this day and age it is the white flag of the defeated.
Geesz. Someone must have the b___s to publicly call him on this (”Mr. Obama, are you a communist?”). Would be interesting to watch him squirm.
I’ve been retired almost 20 years and still tell people about the absolute best manager I ever had-——a black woman.
When I saw her death notice in the paper about 2 years ago I actually shed a few tears.
A very classy lady.

An revealing question -
If “white privilege” is so ubiquitous and advantageous, why does such an overwhelming majority of mixed race people choose to “identify as black”?
The answer, of course, is that there is inherent advantage in our society and law to do so.
“White privilege” is just the most recent move of the goal posts. The race baiting industry always has to come up with a new target, as each precious one is met. “Disparate impact” is another one. Equal opportunity didn’t pan out, so there had to be a way that it’s everyone’s fault except that of those who fail due ro their own faults or shortcomings. So the race baiting industey came up with “disparate impact”. It’s not enough for everyone to be equal before the law (even though that’s no longer true-whites are now held to a higher standard and denied justice), now everyone has to have the same outcome, even though everyone’s not equally gifted. Redistribution is yet another one. It’s not good enough that everyone has the same opportunity, according to their motivation, education, talents, to have a home and other property. Everyone has to be equal in material goods, and if that means taking from the producers to give to the leeches, well, that works out just fine. Not only do they enrich the leeches, they impoverish the productive. Works out just they want on both ends.
Precious=previous. Amongst other obvious typos.
I think the claim of “white privilege” has been around a long time.
They seem to cycle through their grievance claims as each one loses its impact.
It’s not because he’s black, it’s because he uses black to extort silence via white guilt from his detractors, acquiescing his actions. Has worked well up till now.
Question, how long can he keep that ballon aloft? Answer, as long as folks allow themselves to be extorted! Tired of the presidential extortion racket yet?
Has his complexion changed since 1988? Maybe he’s grown darker skin, and that accounts for a 39% approval rating. He may want to consider some Michael Jackson treatments to increase his poll numbers.
