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

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.

Barry, several of your white appointees ran for your job, and I can’t stand them either. Well, I accept Joe Biden as comic relief, but the other two I have in mind are insufferable priapi...which is especially impressive considering one of them’s a woman.

I don’t see much difference between 0bama and O.J. Simpson. In fact 0bama is responsible for the deaths of more innocent people than O.J. is.

He doesn’t really believe that. He’s just trying to gin up some more White Guilt - he knows there’s a lot of that going around.

There are white leftists who would lick Obama’s feet in worship, regardless of how bad Obama is as president. The rest of us don’t want anything to do with Obama’s black heart.

If it wasn’t for the media constantly saying “If you don’t vote for Obama your a racist” Obama would NEVER have won, because he sure as hell had no experience, and the terrorist associations alone should have disqualified him

If this was 1980 or 1984, he would have been washed out in the primaries if he made it that far. I think in addition to my affirmative action assessment, another thing that helped him and even Clinton was that the Cold War ended and we did not have to stand up to the big, bad Soviets anymore and we feel under the assumption that everything is hunky-dory. It is far from that as 9-11 proved as well as many other things, but we are still asleep as a nation.

Maybe. Maybe not.

“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. “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.”

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.

Obama needs to blame the hopefully growing awareness of the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers for his lower approval ratings.

Well I do think he is a racist and perhaps more people are seeing that. Therefore his numbers should drop. No one wants to be seen as supporting a racist, after all.

Coming across as a house boy by bowing to every foreign “leader” he meets probably doesn’t have anything to do with it. Yeah. It’s probably one of those “race” things that the white boys and girls down at the DNC has come up with.

So when his numbers were high was it because Americans weren't racist?
