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.

Is he planning to file an EEOC complaint against the American People (who voted him in twice)?

Thank God. Can you imagine how much money he would’ve spent if he didn’t face such staunch opposition?

I predict it's going to take tools to make him vacate the Oval Office on the last day.

I'm talking pry bars, a strait jacket and a come-along.

Oh, and pepper spray.

The arrogance makes him unable to accept his policy failure, his divisive partisan politics, his race baiting, and leaving the world in a far more dangerous situation.

He was not the leader he thought he was.

Naturalization is a Kind.

“The kindly fruits of the earth”
“Were all thy children kind and natural?”

“Uniform rule of naturalization”

Kynd, kynde, Cynde, Kyndly, adj, natural, kindred, belonging to kind.

Unnatural UnKind

Coming from someone who used the full power of his office to discriminate against Whites.

I am so sick of this (questionable) man. It’s always about him. Racially confused, sexually ambiguous, vapid comprehension, self absorbed, emotionally immature, snowflake that he is. When...when is he done. God I hate him. AND it has nothing to do with the color of his skin, it’s all about the content of his LACK of character.

We have all suffered from the racism coming out of the White House.
The racism that obama is suffering from is in his own head.

What’s he complaining about?

It was racism that put him in office. He never would have beaten Hillary in 08 if he was white. They had so much dirt on him that they were afraid to use because he is [half] black.

Here we have the ultimate and authoritative vindication of Nathan Bedford's first maxim of American politics:

I find this really strange; I would have been proud to serve under Colonel Allen West, of course he would have had to switch services and been a Marine.
Last time I checked Marines only come in one color, GREEN.

The president told Zakaria in the special on his legacy that aired Wednesday but was taped in September that he doesn't mind being defined as the nation's first black president. He's seen here with his grandparents, Stanley and Madelyn

Its amazing that many black Americans understand how we think better than we do ourselves. Its a wonder that they all don’t go into psychology.

The democrats tried foisting a string of far-left communists on us with the following candidates:

Gore, Kerry, 0bama and Clinton.

Only one of them was elected. What was the salient difference between him and the others? I would argue the only reason he was elected and the others were not is because he self-identified as black, not in spite of it.
