JACKSON, Miss.–Barbour referred to President Obama’s issues as “tar babies”, a term some consider racially insensitive since it refers to tar babies in Joel Chandler Harris’ “Uncle Remus” stories.

There were also friends in the Uncle Remus stories. Does that make the term "friends" racist? Liberals are so quick to play the race card and so stupid to take it seriously when that card is played.

Remus was one of the founding twins of Rome. So maybe that makes it Italian?
