WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House says President Barack Obama doesn’t believe he’s being criticized because of his race.
Spokesman Robert Gibbs said Wednesday that Obama - the nation’s first black president - doesn’t think that criticism of his policies is “based on the color of his skin.“
Gibbs was asked about the topic following comments on Tuesday by former President Jimmy Carter.
Carter said that Rep. Joe Wilson’s outburst during Obama’s speech to Congress last week was “based on racism.“ Carter also said “There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president.“
Gibbs says some people have disagreements with some of Obama’s decisions but that those concerns were not because of his race.

Obama is good leader, it doesn’t matter if his black or white. What matters is that his heart is always to serve his people. A lot of people are searching Google and other search engines to get the word Admonish defined for them. To sum up, to admonish is to rebuke, or reprimand, correct, or otherwise criticize someone for a wrong they have done. Apparently, hardly anyone knows the English language anymore – and they let just anyone have a degree of some kind. It’s like an award for “Participant.“ Admonish being sought on do many online dictionary sites is proof positive that the world has started awarding mediocrity. Seriously – if private schools can teach people how to read, write, and vocabulary then public school teachers had better start bloody putting their hands up, and prove their worth all that extra time off. The rest of you – get payday loans and take a remedial English course if you didn’t know the word admonish.
