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.

To the question what else has he got besides being black, I answer: Valerie Jarrett and Michelle, his wife, his VP Joseph Biden, and his AG, Eric Holder. Unfortunately, these are not assets for him or for the country.
Let’s assume for a minute that nobama was Caucasian. Or Latino or Asian. Would that lessen my dislike of his mores or political agenda? Not one tiny bit. The man is set on the destruction of this country, period. His color (purple with yellow polka dots?) has nothing to do with it.
Very well said - agree 100%.
You are not black. Your mom was white and the dad you claim was a mixed racial African. You're quite pale for him to be your dad. Perhaps you're Indonesian-Caucasian.
I dislike you because you're an elitist president who has done nothing to help the country. You're quite racist about your cultural preferences....don't forget, your mom's from Kansas. May some country music or Belgian beauty might satisfy your Caucasian DNA.
“Obama: Some People Dislike Me Because They Don’t Like That I’m Black”
And other people don’t like you because you despise whites.
Along with the fact that you’re a commie pig.
Obama is BLACK??? Who knew??? Now, I don’t like him either..
I wouldn’t like you if you were white either...
Sad that he doesn’t have a reelection to see just how many people would NOT vote for him. He will go down in history as successful because of the media. It is totally not fair but life is not fair.
I hate to disillusion the Criminal-in-Chief, but I would hate him regardless of his color.
Technically he’s right. But I’ll add, some people didn’t like the Chevy Vega because of the color.
I hate Obama and I hate Harry Reid. I guess I’m a bipolar racist.
I was ready to vote for Herman Cain. But the POSOTUS’s minions dug deep and found feet of clay that would never have stopped a democrat. I didn’t even get a chance to vote for him in the primaries thanks to the maxist scumbag in the white hut.
Soooo—
Obama’s approval has dropped to about 39%.
Is he trying to make us believe that no one noticed his color in 2006-07-08 when he was running for the Oval Office???
Are we going to be subjected to 3+ years of his flashing his RACE CARD every time we disagree with his actions???
The Affirmative Action prez plays the worn-out victim/racist card yet again for the slobbering media.
No, you sap. Sensible people oppose you because you are a Marxist and always have been. We don’t need your transformation of America into a Marxist hell hole. There are plenty of those in the world. Immigrate to any one of them and see what your standard of living would be.
May I remind him that he was raised as a privileged WHITE BOY?
I believe that Obama’s presidentcy has put race relations back about 250 years.
Is he going to take the blame when no black person gets elected to high office again for a VERY long time????
Is he trying to upstage the day dedicated to Martin Luthere King???
Obama just has to have the spotlight ONLY him, doesn’t he???
Guess you were a racist Pinto lover. (Snark)
Its not that your black, but that you use your black to extort, and most of use are tired of being extorted.
