That’s become a standard allegation now for any opposition to Obama’s policies. It’s practically daily fare on the Chris Mathews show.
Racism cuts both ways.
There certainly were people who voted against Obama because he is black, but there were just as many who voted for him just because he is black.
“Birtherism” is just as nutty as those on the left who are still 9/11 “truthers”.

The difference is Truthers are not in congress.

GOP congresspeople who dog whistle to birthers *are* in congress.

Your false equivalency is showing!
