Even at the end of his second term, Barack Obama is finding ways to blame others for his failures.
At the beginning of his presidency, everything was George W. Bushs fault. After several years and long after the Bush-blaming had outstayed its welcome Obama finally found a new scapegoat. Suddenly, all of the administrations shortcomings had to do with a racist electorate.
At one point Obama even claimed that racism holds all black people back, including his own family. It was an absurd argument from a man who was elected twice to be President of the United States.
But the absurdity of the argument hasnt stopped Obama from making it again and again through his tenure as president. And he hasnt stopped now that hes serving his final months in the oval office.
Barack Obama has now served two full terms as President of the United States. Despite the fact that he was elected by a majority-white electorate, he still seems to think the United States is full of a bunch of racists.
In an interview aired Wednesday on CNN, President Obama described how he thinks people may view him differently than other presidents because of his race.
I think theres a reason attitudes about my presidency among whites in northern states are very different from whites in southern states, Obama told CNNs Fareed Zakaria.
Obama described how the birther movement, fueled in large part by President-elect Donald Trump, affected him.
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 said.
The birther movement didnt start because of the color of Obamas skin. It started because he was a man who lived his childhood in a foreign country who was, for the majority of his presidency, unable to locate his long-form birth certificate. But these real concerns apparently never occurred to Obama. He would rather call his opponents racist than acknowledge that they had real concerns.
What you said!
Because he has a horse face.
Further evidence this now untethered idiot was not running the Country.
Just nosed out Jimmy Carter as worst President ever.

I adore Ben Carson and it has nothing to do with his skin color.
I wouldn’t care if you were purple!
it’s your commie red I dont like!
I disagree with Obama’s political views, I dislike him for the harm he has done to the country.
Attitudes among northern blacks about whites are different than attitudes among southern blacks about whites.
Imagine if Donald Trump said something like that.
He is black? Hmmpt. Thought he was sharia lover...that is why i don’t like him. well the main reason. i have a list..too long to post here.
Your an octaroon, a half breed. Why dont you try getting in touch with your white self and claim white priviledge
Obama, people don’t like you because of who you are.
Oh, I think he’s played the race card his entire life.
Just the other day it was Northern Whites who didn’t like you, so just how the hell did you get elected? This country will celebrate like no tomorrow when your ugly face is gone.. no one likes you because they love their country and you tried to destroy it. You are a parasite, take your mooching wookie and beat it.
Oh shaddup you marxist....people don’t like your policies. ...but you like throwing up strawmen
Nobody else cares for you very much either.
Oh...I thought he was talking about his soul...nevermind.
