Obama says rise of Trump was racist reaction to 'having a black man in the White House', blasts President for birtherism and says the rot set into GOP when McCain named Sarah Palin as running mate

Barack Obama slams Republicans as xenophobic and paranoid in his forthcoming memoir, which focuses on his first term in the White House.

In the 768-page tome, entitled 'A Promised Land' and out on November 17, Obama reflects on his political career but divulges in the personal, admitting life in the White House increased his smoking habit and caused tension in his marriage with Michelle.

He also speaks to race relations in the United States, writing it was his own historic election as the nation's first black president that sparked some of the current division in the country.

'It was as if my very presence in the White House had triggered a deep-seated panic, a sense that the natural order had been disrupted,' Obama writes in the book, which was obtained by CNN.

Donald Trump, he claims, sensed the country's mood and took advantage of it to win the White House in the 2016 election.

'Which is exactly what Donald Trump understood when he started peddling assertions that I had not been born in the United States and was thus an illegitimate president. For millions of Americans spooked by a Black man in the White House, he promised an elixir for their racial anxiety,' he writes.

Blah, blah, blah, his stagnation and ineptitude brought Trump into it, not racism or his alleged non native birth. Obama/Biden = Failed! I expect no less in the President elect with his VP. Its going to be the SOS.

Obama has no sense of self, and seems afraid of his shadow. He is the empty suit and Clint nailed it, Obama can blame Trump but Clint shot the poison dart.

If any of this bullsmoke is true, we are right over the target.

How many Americans did you get killed over seas Mr Nobel Peace prize?

How many peace agreements did you broker?

History will judge you badly Obama.

Good to know Obama is still a clueless, clownish racist with a victim complex who doesn’t understand America and has a hatred for it.
