Oh, hey, here’s Byron York in the Examiner:
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.
OK, do me a favor and re-read that last part. It seems to me that Mr. York is saying that sure Obama’s popular, but popular with black people so it doesn’t count as much. No? Yes? Because that is what he’s saying, right?
EDIT: Hah, Matthew Yglesias reads it the same way.
