Obama blames racism for his Approval ratings

[Faun]

Of course there are, it's your assumption that they are dominated by Republicans that is self serving crap.

Moron, I made no such assumption. I even know a Democrat who wouldn't vote for Obama because he is black.

The only assumption I made in regards to Obama's comment is that he was 100% accurate and that he said nothing about race affecting his JAR, despite the loony right attacking him for it.

That so?

As a northerner now living in the south, It's clear that most of the hard core racists stayed with the Democratic party. The ones who defected are ones who think government is too large. It's almost funny to see the white redneck Democrats who still use the "N" word and won't sit with blacks blindly back the guy. I think blindness is what they have in common with the rest of the socialists of the Democratic party.

If that were true, isn't it odd that 43 out of 44 blacks elected to Congress and the White House are Democrat? Only 1 black is Republican. In the last Congress, there were 2 and in the 4 Congress' before that, there were none. In total, there have been only 6 black Republicans elected since the civil rights act in the 1960's.

Not that Democrats don't have their share of racists; of course, they do. But it's the Conservative south that was once largely Democrat, and now largely Republican, who are the most racist.

And what you just said is yet another non-sequitur that didn't contradict what I wrote. You're just posting responses based on the points you want to have been made.

In the south, and I've lived in Georgia and live now in North Carolina, in general, the people who switched from Democrat to Republican did it for two reasons. Guns and government growth. They got tired of Democrats who said what they wanted to hear in elections and then went to DC and blindly voted for Pelosi and Reid in contradiction to everything they campaigned on. Obama had little to nothing to do with it and it was well underway a decade before anyone knew who he was.

The black racist rednecks have stayed Democrat because their daddy was Democrat and their daddy's daddy was a democrat. And think about it. Think about the consistency in that. They don't let go of their party, they don't let go of their racist past.

It is the Democrats love of big government and hatred of gun rights that is costing you the south. The racists are overwhelmingly loyal to you. There just aren't enough of them anymore. The south is changing slowly, but it is changing. And northerners like me who come here are clearly expediting that.

Complete nonsense. The south has always been Conservative and racist. Still is. Only now they are more Republican than Democrat. And the biggest shift from Democrat to Republican began in the mid-60's, following the passage of the civil rights movement.

How many times did we hear the rightwing inmates here at USMB say that Obama only got elected because he's black?

I'll save you counting...it was a million times.

Now suddenly his race is off the table?

lol, classic.

because it is true, it was based on getting the first black president elected.

There were those that voted for Obama to prove they were not racist. Only about 15% of those that voted would have voted for him regardless because he had a (D) next to his name, the rest was about his race.

Personally I don't care I would never vote far left no matter the race, sex, sexual orientation, etc. of the person in question. Nor do I allow something as simple as a letter by the persons name to draw my vote.

I am with you. It's not color, it's ideology.

Obama is just another liberal and that is how I see him. It's the left who is obsessed with color. They proved that time and time again. They always bring it up and they are especially mean toward Republican minorities. They don't engage in debate on issues, but instantly resort to name calling and refer to them as traitors or Uncle Toms. They attack them based on race and since they believe all minorities think alike, they get angry when a black doesn't know their place and sides with the right. They act like something is wrong with them, as if black people can't form their own opinions and must have been brainwashed.

And we could have elected a second black president if the left hadn't seen Cain as a huge threat. I knew they'd go after him with both barrels because he was likeable, intelligent and black. They couldn't handle it because it would have made playing the race card impossible and they are unable to debate strictly on issues. They didn't treat Cain like other candidates. He was attacked for being disloyal to his race. Liberals are weird that way. They just don't believe that people are individuals first and they divide by race every time. You know, they think all Hispanics support illegal immigration, too.

I think the economy would be so much better off if we had elected Herman Cain. I wish he would run again since he proved that the accusations were lies.

What a. ******* pathetic scumbag

You obviously didn't read all of what he said. And he was right.
Some people didnt vote for him because he was black and some people only voted for him because he was black. How is that not correct?

Cain was not the right person for the job. And we wouldn't be better off. Thankfully he disappeared.

Gee..What a shocker.

“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.

What did he say wrong?

To cover for his own incompetence, he is blaming his racial heritage.
Obama is a petulant child.
Nothing is ever his responsibility.

Oh, it was not those on the right that said "vote for the black guy because he is black".

Someone didn't read his whole statement. It was actually a very honest interview. Most people who are not hacks are saying this.

"“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."

Do you not agree?

For the longest time I figured he was just out of his depth. But then, when the sequester
hit and he went out of his way to close monuments that are normally open 24/7, that's when I realized that no, he's just an asshole. Just an incompetent asshole.

Why did he close monuments due to the sequester?

Perhaps you're thinking of when the speaker of the House reneged on his agreement and put the defunding of the ACA on the Continuing Spending resolution, and shut down the Government?

And you call the President incompetent.

The President and the Senate Majority leader BOTH stated they would not negotiate.
THEY shut down the government...
Oh, only 17% of the government was "shut down"....No mandatory spending was ever affected. As a matter of fact, few of us even noticed.
But, you being of limited intelligence and a true believer, you'll continue to feel as though you have a good grasp on things.
Good luck with that....

 

[thereisnospoon]

He is right. I know staunch white Democrats who suddenly turned republican when Obama won the nomination. The south is still a very race conscious section of the country.

The south didn't elect Obama.

Wanna bet?
There are plenty of self hating Caucasians in places like Charlotte, Raleigh, Atlanta, Columbia, etc...Yes, suburban white moderates, fearful they would be excluded from the cul de sac block parties, their kids play group and loss of the car pool to soccer practice, caved to peer pressure and voted for Obama.

Hey genius.....Do you really think this is the first time the issue of race has come up regarding Obama's approval numbers?
One cannot swing a dead cat without hitting some left wing political pundit, member of the MSM or some left wing blogger claiming among other things that those opposed to Obama's policies and agenda are racists.

... and you were asked if you agree with that statement .... and you wouldn't answer!

 

[Faun]

his quote is useless if it is not an excuse for approval ratings.

and therefore it was made.

What was the second half of his quote, that you insist on leaving out?

hey, bonehead, it does not matter what the second half is - it is USELESS if he is not blaming racism ( and favoring him only because of the sk9in color, which is the essence of the second part, is ALSO racism), as you, wingnuts are claiming.

in fact he WAS blaming his failing approval ratings on racism - no matter is it favorable racism or aversion racism.

And both him and all of you, brainless sycophants, can't grasp the simple truth that the number of those ( either way) has not changed, so it doe not influence his ratings - as the constant doesn't.

Then answer the question .... how does people liking him due to the color of his skin lower his JAR.

That simply makes no sense at all.

 

[Faun]

Unemployment among the Black community is almost double the statistics thrown out by Barry's boys. What has he done about it besides offer them more handouts?

Why don't you prove your claim before you rely on it to make demands of others? Prove that unemployment is almost 24% among the black community ....

Black unemployment among Blacks is consistently about double than for Whites.
Black unemployment rate is consistently twice that of whites | Pew Research Center That number never really was of any interest to Obama. Except for the odd reference when he was campaigning in front of a predominantly Black audience. I suspect very few of them believed anything Obama promised them. Not really. They had all been lied to all their lives as a matter of daily life in their own families and community listening to someone lie was like listening to some one take a leak in the other room. Means nothing.
The hilarious part of course will be watching Hillary dressed up in dresses with huge flower prints wearing huge matching hats when she 'goes to the Black S. Baptist well'. She'll also promise the Blacks that "Black unemployment will be my number one priority IF and only IF you-all get out and vote for me".

Thanks for admitting you were wrong.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Thursday said Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) reneged on a deal they hashed out in private earlier this year to pass a “clean” stopgap bill funding the government.

Reid said Boehner never wanted to wage a protracted battle over ObamaCare as part of the negotiations to keep the government running.

“I know that that’s not the path he preferred,” Reid said. “I know that because we met the first week we came back in September and he told me that what he wanted was a clean CR and the $988 [billion] number.

“We didn’t like the 988 number. We didn’t like it but we negotiated. That was our compromise,” Reid added. “The exact bill that he now refuses to let the House vote on. That was our negotiation.”

But it's true of course. When Obama was interrupted with "you lie" by a texas congressman. Has anybody ever interrupted a president while he's speaking like that? I live in a fairly nice area in supposedly liberal southern calif. and I hear it from white working middle class. " I'm not going to vote for a f'n n word". A group of republicans some on the public payroll (ryan, cantor) some kicked off public payroll (newt gingrich) met on the day of Obama's inauguration to figure out how to sabatoge Obama. All the depictions even on this board of Obama with watermelons etc. The hatred of michelle obama. You people can't even leave her alone. A black woman with a law degree. Jealousy and hatred. It's hard to deny racism. A huge percentage of whites can't take seeing a black man or family in the white house.

 

[dannyboys]

yes there is. the quote provided by bloomberg article is exactly that - a blame on a race.

otherwise why did he even say that?

And that quote comes out of thin air and you only quoted half the quote. Post the other half.

if he won't blame it on a rce he would skip the race baiting altogether.
yet he did not.

which means that is what HE blames the sinking ratings on.

it can not be his lying, incompetent decisions and abysmal management of the country in all aspects - no way, it MUST be racism

however, he did not come out the closet and suddenly become gay in order to blame it on homophobia his racial background did not change.

His term isn't over yet. A year after the Obamas leave Washington 'Mo' and the girls will be living part time in France and part time in Hawaii. Obama will be renting above 'Boystown' living in silk pajamas and a smoking jacket with some White kid he describes as his
'personal trainer'.
'Mo' has started the process by moving into her own White house suite.....bedroom included.

 

[dannyboys]

Imagine if a White president with failing poll numbers/and Presidency said: "Some people don't like me because I'm White. And some people voted for me gave me the benefit of the doubt because I'm White". (AKA NOT BLACK)
That's what it really boils down to. 'Racism'. You know. The 'thing' LIBs claim the REPs are when ever some one notices and says out loud: "Obama has no clothes".
The 'first affirmative action President' turned out no different than virtually every 'affirmative action' employee: Waste of space/time/money.

 

[Stephanie]

He's such a loser

He think we should be thankful we have more government shoved on us against our will (OscamCare), then millions lose their insurance policies because of it, raise taxes, attacks everyone and anyone...

my gawd what a nightmare this has been...you who voted for him should now see how he appreciates you

Expect more of this folks, they know the people can't stand them or their "visions" of a Fascist Socialist/commie country
