The Chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus said Democrats got walloped in the midterm elections because white Southern voters are racists.
"We lost because of ideological differences within the Democratic Party and with our Administration. We lost because our party has, to some extent, lost white Southerners due in part to the race of our President," Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH) said, according to theCleveland Plain Dealer.
Fudge's remarks echo those of Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA), the Democrat who is in a runoff with Republican Bill Cassidy in Louisiana. Landrieu blamed racism for Obama's low approval ratings when asked why President Obama has "a hard time in Louisiana."
“Let me be very, very honest with you," Landrieu responded in an interview before the midterms. "The South has not always been the friendliest place for African-Americans. It's been a difficult time for the president to present himself in a very positive light as a leader."
To Fudge, black voters were not the reason for the losses. She urged critics to "find another scapegoat" and "Don't blame us!"

No you lost because you suck. Oh and by the stop with BS race card and be a man.
HOLD IT... they are right.... they did lose because of racism. White people (like me) that voted for Obama finally realized that HE is the racist. Had I known that Al Sharpton and the rest of his group would be white house advisers I would NEVER have voted for Obama when I did. Sharpton stands for all things racist as far back as I can remember. Beware of the company you keep!!
"It's been a difficult time for the president to present himself in a very positive light as a leader."
He casts his own light as a leader with only the dimmest of bulbs.
she's racist for saying that!
uhbama, and most all democrats are ignorant, misguided, lying fools.
Republicans freed the blacks. Democrats still wanted slavery. Are they saying blacks didn't vote or didn't vote Democrat
Oh blah blah-shove it where the sun don't shine woman.
