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 as president is like a years and years long gastrointestinal flu. Short of a miracle cure you know you’ll just have to ride it out until it passes.

....”He’ll have them in soup lines, promoting whatever stimulant or depressant necessary to keep them dumbed-down, giving them high deductibles and calling it “insurance”, etc. etc. etc”.....

Am inclined to believe that’s what they want and he’s going to continue this regardless of anything attempted to stop his antics. Such a complete and awful failure this man is....makes one wonder how far he’ll go to regain all the lost ground he believed he had..... Troubling to imagine!

Yep, I told my hubby that if it had been a white guy, with the track record BO had after his first term, he would have been a one-term president (see, Jimmy Carter).

Yep, I told my hubby that if it had been a white guy, with the track record BO had he would have never been the dim candidate in 2008. Hillary would have crushed his skinny ass.

Fixed it for you.

We don't know what the context was or what Remnick asked him to get that response. There are two layers of interpretation here -- the New Yorker interviewer's and the blogger's -- over a comment that might have been meant in different ways.

Here is a link to the original New Yorker article. Please show us the context that neutralizes his comments.

Look at it this way. Back in the days of the Great Socialist Workers Paradise called the Soviet Union, if anyone had a problem with the philosophy of the Party, they were found to be “mentally ill”. The most common diagnosis was “sluggish schizophrenia”. So this problem of “racism” as frequently cited by our Great Party Secretary, Barack Hussein Obama, is merely another manifestation of sluggish schizophrenia.

“Who cares what color he is? He’s a damned islamist.”

Yes, he is, with their goal of turning this country into an Islamist country as soon as Hussein totally destroys it.

"I didn’t know marxisim was a race."

I'm not sure "black" is a race.

Check out all the latest DNA research. The "race" categories are far from well-defined.

Putting people into "groups" (race, age, eye color, red/blue state) always means one group is "underserved" somehow. Confusion created by creating groups is a way to obfuscate the truth and undermine the concepts of individual freedom.

Obama thinks we’re racist against White Arabs?

I like the idea of a black president. Perhaps a black president such as Thomas Sowell. I don’t dislike you because you’re black. I dislike you because you are trying to ruin my country.

I think his statement will tick people off who voted for him and don’t like his policies. It may actually make his ratings go lower. Next song he will be whistling is “Limbo Rock”
How low can you go.
