Full Title: I 'absolutely' suffered racism in office, says Obama: Some Americans' 'primary concern about me has been that I seem foreign'

President Barack Obama says the color of his skin has 'absolutely' contributed to white Americans' negative perceptions of his time in office.

The president said in a Wednesday special looking back on his legacy, 'I think there's a reason why attitudes about my presidency among whites in Northern states are very different from whites in Southern states.

'Are there folks whose primary concern about me has been that I seem foreign, the other? Are those who champion the "birther" movement feeding off of bias? Absolutely,' he told CNN's Fareed Zakaria.

David Axelrod, a senior advisor to Obama at the White House who now runs the Chicago Institute of Politics, concurred.

'It's indisputable that there was a ferocity to the opposition and a lack of respect to him that was a function of race,' Axelrod told CNN, where he's also paid to work as a contributor.

Just imagine the ferocity of opposition you would've experienced if your name was, oh, I don't know, Ben Carson, Allen West, Tim Scott, Mia Love.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

I suffered from the fact that the government discriminates against white people.

[Twinkie]

I won’t miss them when they’re gone.

[needmorePaine]

Has any other President been so focused on his legacy as this narcissist?

From the very beginning of his first campaign to now, every criticism of him (whether his radical associates or his garbage policies) has turned into some redirect or deflection to put the focus on the American people.

Oh, I sat in a radical church for years? Well, let me give a historic speech about race and racism in America.

People hate the policies I support and forced down their throats? Well, those dumb crackers just don't like a black man with a funny name.

[Rebelbase]

I dream of the day when presidents will confess their moral failures rather than blame it on the color of their skin.

[PROCON]

Well, at least you were able to thin out the commies working for you the past 8 years.

[needmorePaine]

He merely needed to take the time at his inaugural address, or shortly after, to say something along the lines of..."This country has had racial issues in the past, and there still is work to be done. However, me standing here as President proves that America has moved beyond the massive racial divide, and into a more progressive..." yada yada yada, you get the picture. He could have risen above the fray and led.

Instead, at that first inaugural we got this during the benediction:

... we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right.

[SMARTY]

That he got himself inaugurated TWICE is proof that he’s a delusional moron and a LIAR!

LIVING PROOF

[Just mythoughts]

I wish he would hide. I would say the majority of Americans held their peace considering the waves radical racism spewed out of his reign. Personally, he is a mere tool, and not particularly bright.. I fully expect him to produce a rap video within a year.

[max americana]

Yeah. I always felt great about it LOL

[Flaming Conservative]

Well I’m from the north, and his color had absolutely nothing to do with why I did not want him as my president. There are several black men and women whom I think would make wonderful presidents. Accusing others of racism is hilarious, because he was the most racist partisan president we have ever had. He used race at every single opportunity to divide us. Plus he used Islam to divide us. Many of his associates and advisers were Muslims. Also, he knew that the American public did not want our country flooded with Muslims at this time in history, and he did it anyway. Were we just supposed to lump it, so that he didn’t feel like we were racist? He is probably the least qualified man who ever became president in our history. Even Hillary had more qualifications than he did, and that’s not saying much.

[NormsRevenge]

Couldn’t he at least wait until after he leaves the Oval Orifice before he breaks into his Pity party mode?

His heart is a lot blacker than his skin.

[Flaming Conservative]

Agree.

[Madame Dufarge]

Yes!

Tear-soaked encomiums will rule the day.

Perhaps pleas to the current pope to consider the muslim marxist for sainthood. There's a 50-50 chance on that.

[PROCON]

It's actually a bit sad to watch his meltdown.

He knows his "legacy" will be splintered and forgotten; he's in denial and like all denialists, he shifts the blame to qualm his incredible but fragile ego.

[Dr. Ursus]

COP-KILLER!

[Mears]

“Please play a continual loop of “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.” for him -—

—

Ditto for “The Cambridge police acted stupidly”——leading to 8 of the most racially divided years in a VERY long time.

He is a destroyer.

[Right Wing Assault]

You dished out a lot more racism than you received.

[Cen-Tejas]

...........well, let’s see.........being an uber liberal and half black racism is awful convenient but what about a demonstrably false birth certificate, fake social security numbers, “if you want your doctor you can keep your doctor”, one and one half billon you and your wife spent having fun, Benghazi, and on and on and on endlessly!

Yep, your right “it’s racism”!!!
