"PRINCETON, NJ -- Since the start of his presidency, U.S. President Barack Obama's approval rating has declined more among non-Hispanic whites than among nonwhites, and now, fewer than 4 in 10 whites approve of the job Obama is doing as president."

Now that he’s at -15, he decides that it’s time to 1) make a decision on Afghanistan (during a prime time press conference on Tuesday); 2) hold a jobs summit (after millions have lost jobs); 3) tackle the deficit (he created). What a poll driven loser. Can’t he just do anything for the right reasons? What a weak leader he is. Just as bad as Jimmah.

he waited too long to bring out the reparation bill.

Health care is reparations. Who do you think is going to benefit from healthcare "reform"?

The whites that voted for him because he is [half] black were doing so because they thought they were buying atonement for their guilt.

They’ve found out they were ripped off in the “bargain”. Racism is worse than ever. “Hate whitey” is worse than ever. Ever policy so far has been stealth reparations.

Beer is good. Beer is very good. What’s your preference: pilsner? Lager? Ale? IPA? Porter? Stout? I like ‘em all.

Could it be that non-Hispanic Whites pay closer attention than other racial and ethnic groups? No. To admit that would be racist.

Should we be feeling any “white guilt?” If so, I am a little worried because I am not feeling any.

I guess what I want to know is:

Are you feeling guilty for not feeling guilty?

Since you're slow deciding, may I offer you a glass of La Fin du Monde, an excellent golden ale brewed in Quebec. Cheers, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Actually very telling men approval of him dropped from 60% to under 46% a big 15% drop but even greater is white women are starting to wake up with a drop from 70% to 51% showing a 19% change. This should scare the the democratic party big time if the white women vote drops under 50% they know they’re in a heap of sh!t next election.

As of today Obama’s disapproval among whites is 61%

Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

It is what anyone with an ounce of objectivity knew. Blacks voted for Obama BECAUSE he is sort of black. It does not matter what Obama’s policies are. He could advocate a “final solution” for blacks, and they would still support him. The canard that blacks supported him because of his policies is pure bulls**t. Obama was elected POTUS primarily BECAUSE he was black and a liberal. The RINO McCain was a dream come true for Obama. Even with all the propaganda spewed by the MSM, people are starting to see Obama for what he is, namely, an empty suit.

Where’s that cartoon of the guy flogging the dead horse?!

I’ve said from the beginning that

1. I don’t “hate” him, and
2. It’s his ideology, not his skin color that has me up in arms.

But I have to confess that that has changed. I do now freely admit that I hate him. I despise his haughty arrogance, and his condescending manor. I hate his groveling before our enemies and slighting our friends. I hate his absence of understanding or common sense when it comes to our national security and our troops. I hate his Marxist tendencies when it comes to his plans to dismantle our economy. I see red when I see his trampling on the traditions that made this country great and promoting notions that is guaranteed to DESTROY OUR NATION.

It is becoming a visceral hatred that doesn’t want to do harm to him, but is ambivalent about seeing harm come to him. Honestly, if a bus hit him tomorrow it would take everything I have to suppress a grin.

The worrisome thing is that I know that I’m not alone. I have overheard more expressions in racial terms than I have in the last thirty years. The post-racial president has set race relations in America back to the sixties (or worse). Surprisingly, where I am seeing it coming from is more from the middle and from the left than from the right.

The left has always been racist and racially exploitative, so there’s not much new there. But I know several people who are squishy moderates that I would never have expected passing along jokes with a racial theme. But there it is.

I expect things to get much, much worse before we ever catch a glimpse of anything better. The driving force - as demonstrated by this article, is that minorities (blacks) have been given a huge expectation by 0b0mba of a massive payoff and they don’t GAS about anything else except getting it. At the moment they are still queuing up for all their free stuff, but that is gonna change. When it fails to materialize - and it WILL fail - then we’ll see a change in the polling.

A hearty +1 to everything in that comment.

I’m afraid the feelings I have for the whole lousy tribe of them is too close to hatred for comfort. As a Christian I know that’s wrong, in other words, a sin. I pray for forgiveness for that ‘way too often these days.

I’m instructed to pray for my enemies, and I try. The best I can do for Bambi and friends is to pray that God makes their way straight when they walk in His way, and frustrate them in their endeavors when they do not.

Good thoughtful post, by the way. Thanks for sharing it.

Oh, and BTW, this clown is probably going to lose in 2012—maybe lose fairly big, although this country has many idiots who may not wake up then (Plus BO has a built in 13% base that ain’t going nowhere).

If/when he does lose—there are going to be “urban riots”—bet on it—it might be a long overdue jump the shark moment for some folks who can’t leave bad enough alone...

White people are not as brainwashed into socialism as so-called ‘people of color.’ I think it’s also interesting that Asians are also turning against Obama. Further, white people are increasingly aware that Obama hates white people and lot of his income redistribution is aimed at taking money from whites and giving it to ‘people of color.’ Indeed, some in the black community boasted last year that Obama was telling them that he was going to take money from whites and give it to them. Obama’s racist chickens are coming home to roost.
