Horrible! Obama Blames Racism For His Lower Approval Ratings
Gateway Pundit ^ | January 19, 2014 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 01/19/2014 12:54:01 PM PST by Hojczyk

Obama blamed his sinking popularity on racism in his latest interview with the >New Yorker.

It couldn’t possibly be his failed economic policies, the fact that he lied to Americans for years about Obamacare or his destructive foreign policy. No, it’s racism. Bloomberg reported:

President Barack Obama said that racial tensions may have softened his popularity among white voters within the last two years, according to a story posted on the New Yorker magazine’s website today.

“There’s no doubt that there’s some folks who just really dislike me because they don’t like the idea of a black president,” Obama said in the article by David Remnick, appearing in the magazine’s Jan. 27 edition.

“Now, the flip side of it is there are some black folks and maybe some white folks who really like me and give me the benefit of the doubt precisely because I’m a black president,” Obama said in his most direct comments on how race has affected his political standing since he’s been in office.

Don’t you love the visual of Obama coming off of Air Force One, styling, with his fists clenched, shaking them up and down, like an idiot teenager showing off. I have prayed, just once, Lord, just once, please let that emaciated prick do a header on those stairs. I’m sorry, Lord, I should not say that. But, if you allowed Jerry Ford do it, can you let the Muslim do a facesmash while the cameras roll?

When you have absolutely nothing left just play the race card.

I had a guy whom I thought to be reasonably intelligent just tell me that the only reason Obama is criticized is because he is black.

So much for thinking he was reasonably intelligent.

"Racism is why he is in the White House."

I think it has more to do with single white females and their sexual fantasies, obedience, and/or retaliation against their fathers.

The immaturity of this man child is simply astounding though expected for a liberal.

To a liberal, their beliefs are never to blame for anything. It’s always the fault of those who differ with them or some “boogeyman”.

Imagine if President Bush had said....”You know, some black folks don’t like white Presidents. On the other hand, some whites and a few black cut me some slack cause I’m white.”

He’s getting obviously desperate. How much opprobrium is Obama getting that actually cites his race (a mongrel mix) as the source of his politics? There is extremely little of this! And it is because stupid is color blind.

You said...
“He sees his realm coming down around him so he pulls the race card, he has many more”

That was my first reaction when I read the interview. Like a previous poster said, this is the first time I can remember BHO using the race card so directly since being sworn in.

I also expect alot more of this excuse making, victim hood, ect

“Obama Blames Racism For His Lower Approval Ratings”

He started it!

I am not racist I just hate liberals, and 0bamas commie agenda and unfortunately blacks just happen to be liberals and 0bama supporters.

The rest is just collateral damage.

He was elected by racists. 100 percent of the people who voted for him are racist.

Thanks Hojczyk.

obama forgets he's a mulatto and forgets that if it weren't for white people, he wouldn't have been elected either time.
