The burden of being Obama

Erick Erickson:
...
It must be comfortable and convenient for President Obama to assume the opposition to him is because of his race. He can negotiate a bad deal with Iran and conclude the public hates it because he is black. He can tell people they can keep their doctors then take their doctors away from them and console himself that the anger of the public is just racist. He can see a solid position in Iraq and Afghanistan squandered as ISIS overruns us and, when people point it out, conclude it's just because of his skin color. People can drop out of the workforce because they can't find jobs and when their stomachs rumble and their mouths grumble, President Obama can look himself in the mirror and think it'd all be different if he were not a black man.

If only President Obama weren't black, maybe he would realize that people don't dislike him because he is black, they dislike him because he is a self-absorbed ass.
...
It must be a real burden to blame all your problems on your race.  Self pity is a destructive emotion that inhibits one from seeing the real cause of their problems.  It seems to be the liberal means of dealing with rejection.  It is an insidious form of racism in its own right.

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
