Rut - roh - someone give me a Scooby Snack. He just triggered a shit storm for stupidity from the right wing wingnut talking heads.

Per his interview in The New Yorker as reported by Bloomberg.com

“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.

Obama’s second term has been marked by controversies including a partial government shutdown in October, revelations that the National Security Agency has gathered personal mobile phone data and the troubled rollout of health-insurance expansion.

Obama’s approval rating among all voters is 39 percent and his disapproval rating is 53 percent, according to a Gallup Poll conducted Jan. 14-16. In the 2012 presidential election, Republican candidate Mitt Romney won 59 percent of the white vote, compared with Obama’s 39 percent, according to exit polling by a consortium of major news outlets. Obama won 43 percent of the white vote in 2008 against 55 percent for opponent John McCain, a Republican senator from Arizona.

How long before some of our fellow DU'ers make it all about them? Because he not talking about them - he's talking about dimwits that voted for Romney, McCain, IndieTeaPublicans, Teahadists, etc. etc.

But can we all admit it's true? That there are people in America that he could id himself as Jesus Christ, Santa Claus,The Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy all wrapped up in one - and they would still hate him?
