Full Title: I 'absolutely' suffered racism in office, says Obama: Some Americans' 'primary concern about me has been that I seem foreign'
President Barack Obama says the color of his skin has 'absolutely' contributed to white Americans' negative perceptions of his time in office.
The president said in a Wednesday special looking back on his legacy, 'I think there's a reason why attitudes about my presidency among whites in Northern states are very different from whites in Southern states.
'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 told CNN's Fareed Zakaria.
David Axelrod, a senior advisor to Obama at the White House who now runs the Chicago Institute of Politics, concurred.
'It's indisputable that there was a ferocity to the opposition and a lack of respect to him that was a function of race,' Axelrod told CNN, where he's also paid to work as a contributor.

Says the racist. This freak is a lunatic.
Petulant child. Laura Ingraham nailed it: infantile!
Obama, you petulant little boy. We are not judging you “by the color of your skin, but by the content of your character.”
Must be CNN discriminated against him too. So file a human rights complaint with the EEOC you moron.
Racist in chief, black for a living, president claims his racist positions hurt him
Maybe George Bush can try the same excuse. Its possible that black americans think that if they were white that all white people would treat them well. Odd.
A man who wins two elections somehow thinks that he is victim of racism really has no scientific ability to make that claim. If he thinks there is a color of skin that is universally loved, I sure don’t know it.
He's seeing his so-called 8-year legacy disappear in front of his eyes by a man who hasn't even taken over the Presidency yet.
colour if his skin..my aunt fanny... it was the content of his character that sucked...
His staff will pull five letters from every keyboard.
I was not against his radical, anti-American, unconstitutional agenda, whining, belligerent, bowing to Saudi and other Arabs and clearly not proud of Americans....little pot head punk kid.
Simply a little chicken shit.....
Good Fing riddance to him!
the melt down will come about 2-3 weeks after he leaves office when he finds out that he was only getting respect from those around him because of the power of his office. I expect to see a slow melt down with in the democrat party as a realization from rank and fill democrats that his positions devastated the party in all the states but California and New York.
That too!
I know liberals. They will blame Hillary and continue to idolize Obama.
Actually, this may work for a good long time and we should encourage them! ;)
The truth is that he is very uncomfortable in his own skin!!!
lol
If we can get to that day without some disaster (cough) there will be lots of sad articles and sad music on MSNBC/ABC/CBS/CNN/Yahoo all about the greatest (lying) pResident ever.
Of course, they’ll leave out the constant lies.
Didn’t Michelle’s family give him a hard time about his heritage?
You think he’d learn by now.
Me too!
And just how does that ferocity of opposition compare to that being spewed against Trump—before Trump even takes office?
