I know that there is a lot of racism out there - most recently evidenced by the Treyvon Martin murder - but I don't believe this story. Most of the educated republicans I am around (and there are plenty - I live in Texas) would not dare say something like that. The more common theme is that Obama is a community organizer who has never had a job. Which is silly because he was a summer associate at the same type of law firm their own kids would work at, and he did work as a lawyer/professor after law school along with being in the Illinois Senate and the House. His path really wasn't all that different from Bill Clinton's - except Clinton became Governor instead of a rep. But they are very careful about what they say and I'd be very surprised to hear something like this. Among the teabaggers it is a different story - but that is largely a lower income level.
