What if worms had machine guns? Birds wouldn't fuck with them.
I agree that Obama has had a harder time of things due to his race, and his name, as well. Both factors feed the xenophobia that the extremely conservative Americans seem to feel.
Also, the quotes you grabbed are pretty ambiguous, featuring both praise and criticism.
I think your hypothetical scenario is not how it would play out, though. Presidents don't get impeached for getting upset. They get impeached for catching blowjobs. And that includes white Presidents, too.
Individual media outlets have their own biases. Fox is irredeemably conservative, the New York Times irredeemably liberal, and I don't think that's going to change any time soon. The media as a whole seems to me to have had a liberal bent in the past, but I haven't consumed mass media in a few years so I can't speak to the state of affairs today.
