Unbelievable.

What exactly is he saying, that black Americans aren't Americans? Or when he says that Obama's sky high ratings amongst black Americans "make some of his positions appear a bit more popular overall than they actually are", is he implying that only the opinion of white Americans really matter?On his 100th day in office, Barack Obama enjoys high job approval ratings, no matter what poll you consult. But if a new survey by the New York Times is accurate, the president and some of his policies are significantly less popular with white Americans than with black Americans, and his sky-high ratings among African-Americans make some of his positions appear a bit more popular overall than they actually are.
Asked whether their opinion of the president is favorable or unfavorable, 49 percent of whites in the Times poll say they have a favorable opinion of Obama. Among blacks the number is 80 percent. Twenty-one percent of whites say their view of the president is unfavorable, while the number of blacks with unfavorable opinions of Obama is too small to measure.
That the fact that a lot of black Americans support Obama makes the support he is receiving somehow less valid?
That smells like racism. No, strike that, I'm pretty sure that this is racism.
