Barack Obama’s poll numbers are in the toilet not because he’s a bad president. No. It’s because he’s black, don’t you know.

That’s right. In an interview with New Yorker, America’s “post-racial” president said racial tensions are responsible for his lagging popularity.

“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’s current approval rating hovers around 40 percent and in the 2012 election, President Obama won 39 percent of the white vote. In 2008, he won 43 percent of the white vote.

The failure of Obamacare, Benghazi, NSA wiretapping and a host of other scandals have marred the president in 2013, but the single reason the president is unpopular is because of the color of his skin.

Republican National Committee Spokesman Sean Spicer markedly disagreed with Obama’s assessment of his popularity.

“Poll after poll makes it very clear that Obamacare and other job-killing policies are the reason” for the president’s decline in popularity,” he said.

But pulling the “race card” isn’t above anybody nowadays, is it, Mr. President?
