Agreed. So what is this statement of Romney’s?

It’s not intended to be a lie, because everybody knows Obama has worked.

It’s not a mistake, because Romney knows full well that Obama has worked.

What does that leave?

It’s obviously a play on the “community organizer” meme in conservative circles. I look at it more as a dig against academia and the common person than a race thing. (Not that that’s a good thing….)

I’m sorry, but I reserve charges of racism for cases of the real thing - it’s not an accusation that I think should be doled out lightly. Hunting for “racism” (or any other “-ism”) where it might or might not exist is a trip down a slippery slope.
