Obama Says Racial Animus Blunts Approval, New Yorker Reports
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.
But this time it’s not an Obama Minion claiming this.
It’s Obama Himself, throwing down the pettiest and cheapest card ever.
I am so tired of the hackneyed, puerile, obvious, cheap and patronizing old saw that Caucasoids are racist simply because of their melanin. I’d posit the reverse about blacks, having voted skin color over competence in 2008 and again in 2012. I am so over that trite card — the race card.
It’s what gets played when Obama — and his sycophants — have no other move. It’s what defense attorneys do in court when they lack a cogent argument and the facts and the case go against them: the cheap and personal attack.
Which is why I shall continue to point out the obvious on my blog: blacks can be every bit — or more — racist than Caucasoids.
And: they’ve got the GOWPs and the AMM in their pockets.
