Just to clear things up

You can tell things aren't going so great for the Leader of the Free World when he starts in with this sort of thing:

“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.

The problem with this president isn't the color of his skin. It's the content of his character. He's a Chicago politician. He learned how to play the game in one of the most corrupt places in this country. Chicago politics works very well in Chicago because the opposition is (a) marginalized and (b) just as corrupt. The country at large isn't like Chicago. Yet.
