Horrible! Obama Blames Racism For His Lower Approval Ratings

In the South, black people using “folk” when the topic is race, is a well-known euphemism referring to white people with intent to demean. I’ve heard it used that way all my life by blacks in the South when setting themselves against whites. They used to think we didn’t know what they meant when they did it, I’m surprised Hussein still seems to believe we don’t. Maybe I shouldn’t be.

He's so arrogant he probably believes that we don't. In his mind, he's smarter than all of us. But only in his mind.

So he must be racist about himself. Is it the white side or the black side that is racist.

Don’t you love the visual of Obama coming off of Air Force One, styling, with his fists clenched, shaking them up and down, like an idiot teenager showing off. I have prayed, just once, Lord, just once, please let that emaciated prick do a header on those stairs. I’m sorry, Lord, I should not say that. But, if you allowed Jerry Ford do it, can you let the Muslim do a facesmash while the cameras roll?

If he did, he would probably blame the stairs. They were probably constructed by a racist who hates the idea of a black president walking on them.

Around here (NorCal) it's "smiling faces."

Number 1: Obama is not black. Nothing black about him, except some of his chromosomes.
Number 2: By practicing race baiting continually and setting race against race, he has set back race relations in the United States at least 75 years.
Number 3: With his bogus jobs bill and rise in unemployment and cataclysmic health care plan debacle, he has harmed the economic and medical well being of Blacks throughout the United States.
Number 4: Americans had been looking forward to a Black president, not the president from Hell, no matter what color the president Hell.

Racism plays a big part - he and his fellow racists have disgusted much of the Nation with their overt racism...

“Racisim”? Guess who has caused the largest divide between the races, it sure as hell hasn’t be the whites. Odumbo has set race relations back for close to a hundred years thus emboldening blacks to go over the edge. The worse is yet to come. Lock and load folks.

We don't have the actual transcript, so we don't know what questions or comments Remnick made that led to Obama's response.

If Remnick asked, "Aren't most of the people who oppose you motivated by race?" then a response that some people may oppose him because of race and others favor him because of race doesn't seem to be entirely out of place.

It's the kind of answer politicians like -- not exactly an affirmation, not exactly a negation, not especially gracious or ungracious, more a brushing away of a question the politician doesn't want to answer than an actual response.

Of course, that may not be the context, and the blogger may be right about this -- it might be Obama hiding behind race again and lashing out at his opponents -- but that's not the only answer. If he really wanted to lash out, he could have gone further.

Some politicians avoid the New Yorker because it doesn't let their remarks stand as written, but works them into contexts that are the writers' own creation. To be sure, Remnick and Obama are on the same side politically, but Remnick is hung up on a particular narrative here and he's going to write his article to reflect that story.

What a bunch of sorry excuses for the Jug-eared Emperor! We do know the context. He was explaining why his poll numbers were down. Period.

It is clear as crystal that 0bama is a racist and a whining excuse maker.
