GOP Aide in Tennessee Distributes Racist Image of Obama
-------------------------------------------------------



In Tennessee, Republican State Senator Diane Black is refusing to fire a
staffer who sent a racist image of President Obama. The staffer, Sherri
Goforth, sent out an email with images of all the presidents of the
United States. Barack Obama was depicted in the bottom right hand corner
only as a pair of bright white eyes on a black background.
