Actually, it may well be THE problem. It's why I welcome Rick Wilson, despite his lack of sackcloth and ashes, because he understands how Michelle Obama should have said it: When they go low, we get a rusty, unsharpened knife and perform an unanesthetized castration.
Love this. Both Obama’s were trying to prove that they were not uncivilized heathens. Quite a challenge since the election brought out all the rusty knives that Repubs had been hiding. Who knew that our “great leap forward” just exposed the demons that had been wearing masks. I should have known the week after the election that it would turn more ugly than any expected. My BFF’s son started screaming at me that Obama was a socialist who would destroy capitalism. He was an idiot so I just blew it off. Silly me
I have a former student who moved to North Carolina in 2007 and told me that at what we might call events that didn't attract the least common denominator--Rotary Club, etc.--the n word was commonly used to describe Obama. And I wasn't surprised, because I will guarantee that the overwhelming majority of the republicans in Congress, as well as their nominees, have used the word regularly.
Not surprised, it just rolled off the tongues as people were unashamed. They stopped doing it around me while I lived there. In Texas, it was deliberately done with a smirk. In a gun shop, they had posters of O with cross hairs, another with him as a skunk, half black and half white.
One of the problems…

The Obama's had a challenge just to stay alive...
