More Fun From Great Republican Spokespeople

They are really racking up the hits this week. Republican columnist and author Byron York had the following to say about Obama's popularity:

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.

Of course, the solution to this is simple: If you want to get a true measure of the real American opinion of President Obama, stop including black people in surveys. I mean, of course they skew the results away from what Americans are actually thinking. Better yet... just stick to surveying white male land owners*. Then we'll really know where America stands on Obama.

When I realized that America's next president would be a Democrat, one of the things I was looking forward to most was the daily dose of schadenfreude I'd get from listening to Republicans complain about the new president. But honestly? Even if you told me this is what it would be like, I wouldn't have anticipated it would be this f**king awesome.

* thanks for the line.
