This is one of the most obnoxious things still coming out of people's leftist mouths.
As a former theist who always voted GOP, my dislike for Obama had nothing to do with his skin color. You could accuse me of being brainwashed by right-wing propaganda if you want to, but I find the charge of "If you're not X you must be a racist" to be very narrow-minded and a pathetic strawman.
Are there some right wingers who hate Obama because he's a black man in a position of authority? Of course, but even after coming over to the "dark side" I still don't think most of their dislike for the President has anything to do with his African Americanism.
