Obama: Some People Dislike Me Because They Don't Like That I'm Black
breitbart ^ | 1/19/14

On Sunday, The New Yorker released an interview with President Barack Obama in which the president stated that his approval ratings had been suppressed due to racism. “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 stated. “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’s current approval rating is down to 39 percent according to Gallup; his approval rating in the black community remains extraordinarily high, although it is significantly lower now than it was when he was re-elected.

Obama’s overall approval ratings have tumbled coincident with the failed rollout of Obamacare, as well as his mishandling of the Syria and Iran crises. Obama’s supporters have often suggested that political difficulties he experiences are attributable to generalized racial anxiety.

my 30% number meant 30% of the population which is basically 100% of the black and latino vote.

This idiot could have gone down in the history books as one of the greats but he chose a different path. A majority of Amercians wished him well and gave him support and a chance. He and his criminal friends are responsible for the outcome not the American people. Sad especially for black Americans.

Some of the best people I know and admire are Black.
Aholes always ejaculate stupid and untrue statements.
Take Biden, Podesta, Sharpton or Holder for instance.

I have a different Take on O’bummers comments:

We have seen some DEMS critical of his actions and have
spoken out against his policies (NSA spying,NOT enough!
Govt take over! etc.)

I think his comments were to get the LIBERAL WHITE dems
back into the fold —or at least shut them up.

Absolutely!
I know some terrific black people, but ZERO is not one of them. The red diaper, ‘big fat crybaby’, narcissist in the WH is always going to whine and cry foul....always.
I don’t like him because he is a pompous arse, and that has nothing to do with the color of his skin.

Not me. You will never go broke underestimating the tastes (commercially or politically) of the American people. If there is a good PR operation, with the appropriate glitz and flash you will get not only another black president. You will get another MARXIST black president. Because the uniformed voter is king.

No, it just goes to show how good the dems have become at voter fraud...lol However, I agree that America is far from ant-black, and we have the welfare receipts to prove it.

Look laweeks.

If you look at his statement from the perspective of the academic here is what he says:

Some people hate me because I am black. Some people give me a pass because I am black. This is a logically correct statement.

I can say (from my experience long ago as a young single fellow: Some girls really digged me because I have red hair. Some girls wouldn’t touch me with a 10’ poll because I had red hair. Some girls didn’t care one way or the other.

The statement is logically true.

He is such a clown that he gives clowns a bad name.

I feel like there is a vacuum at the top with absolutely no leadership.

What this clown does in no way can be called leadership.

What an idiot

Maybe 1/2 of One Percent just see half negro race...and dislike that

Likely 55-60% love the fact he’s black

I’ll take those skin based survival odds in north Memphis as a white guy any night

Interesting how the wormy types blame everyone else for their own down fallings.

Mac daddy never lets an occasion go by when he can draw attention to himself.

I guess he really believes the lies he tell about himself.

I love Ben Carson, Clarence Thomas, Allen West, Thomas Sowell, and Herman Cain - but I detest this guy. Does that still make me a racist?

Oh, I'm so confused!
