Criticisms of America's first black president, sometimes, come with a wink and a nudge.
A union rep in coal country delivered his in carefully coded language.
"He was supposed to represent both sides," the West Virginia man said in a recent interview, describing his disenchantment with Barack Obama, whom he'd once supported.
What sides was he talking about? The man paused at the question, cast a furtive glance around the room and looked down at the little machine recording the conversation. "You know," he said in a hushed tone, "his mom was as white as you and me."
He completed the thought, with some further pressing. Gun control, climate change, he said — those are city people's priorities. And city people equals minorities. But gun rights, coal mining — these are the priorities up in the mountains of Boone County, where the population is 98.4 per cent white.
The White House avoids these conversations like the plague. In a new book, a longtime adviser to Obama explains that he'd consistently change the subject whenever asked about racism toward his boss.
But David Axelrod is a private citizen again and now he'll say it: the two-time Obama campaign aide, ex-White House staffer, and communications guru who coined the slogan, "Yes We Can," says that opposition to the president is partly fuelled by racism....

Thousands of times every single day of the year, some minority somewhere will claim that ‘racism’ is responsible for his/her incompetence, disappointments, and failures.
Utter B.S., what the union rep. said wasn’t in any way racist, just the plain truth. Zero is looking out for negroes period.
Can someone please tell me what “racism” is? Is it anything like “cooties?”
I always thought it was just his bad ideas.
If racism is hating liberals and their socialist agenda then I’m a proud racist.
The sheer brilliance! Before Axelrod, nobody in the history of mankind ever uttered those words before.
Boone County is right next to Kanawha County - which is the Capital county for WV...and south of Boone Co is Logan County - where black people also live...this idiot reporter had to dig around and state that there are red necks out in the mountains of WV...hell - those mountains aren’t that big in Boone County...go up north outside of Wash DC in the pan handle or even more south into Mingo County...these liberal reporters and their fabricated stories...did Brian Williams set this up?

It is anti Communism that fuels anti obama
Of course....racism is responsible for ALL!! the criticism of Obama. Who could believe otherwise? Why, when Hillary gets the nomination, all conservative Pubbies will jump ship and happily run to the polls to vote for Clinton over some conservative nominee like Walker, Perry, Cruz, or another conservative pol who wants to follow the “constitution” or some other outmoded, not-cool way to run the country.

"(The) vitriol was reminiscent of the angry crowds that had turned up at McCain-Palin rallies (in 2008)," he writes. "For some in the crowd, their ire was rooted in more than disagreements over policy. It was rooted in race: a deep-seated resentment of the idea of the black man with the Muslim name in the White House...
Odumba$$’s election was fueled by racism. He is the epitome of racism. Racism is Oduma$$’s calling card. It’s all he’s got.
Look for democrats to trot out female or minority presidents to the end of times. Those cards are simply to yummy for them to ever do without.
The biggest racist in the country is barrack obama.
Okay I admit that I’m opposed to Obama because he’s only part black. I want a 100% black conservative in the White House.
Nope it’s because he’s a pinko commie Fag Muslim.
racism fuels his supporters as well as his opponents.
Black is the new red.
