Here’s a bit of backstage banter between the FDL crew concerning a somewhat bizarre piece by Byron York (and yes, we know that’s a redundancy):

Blue Texan:  Re: [The Hair] Obama’s not really popular because black people like him so much.   WTF?

Peterr:  STFU!

Blue Texan:  OMFG.

Watertiger:  LOL!   GMTA!

Attackerman:  May I respectfully point out that my Windy colleague Dave Weigel was on this first?

Emptywheel:   Though Yglesias gets credit for invoking the 3/5 compromise.

Next up, Nate, to show Byron that even IF you count black approval ratings at 3/5 of the approval ratings as whites, Obama STILL is a very popular president.
