When I've had a boss like that, I did my best to detach my emotions from any interaction with him. The torture for me was getting upset at all of his antics, so deciding not to let my emotions react to his comments helped. This manager would pick out one issue out of a fully successful project and make it sound like I failed. I decided getting upset over his view of me wasn't helping me, so I treated everything he said with a logical response...for example "Yes, that was an issue, but the rest of the project was successful, and I am handling the issue".
It is a pain that he makes comments that mock and suggest things that are not true. He must be assuming things about you that are not true. Detach from his opinion if you can. It's an incorrect view of your work. You are doing a great job.
