Here's what the teabaggers are using as their "Obama did it too" meme

“I’m not her boyfriend!” I shouted. I ran up to Coretta and gave her a slight shove; she staggered back and looked up at me, but still said nothing. “Leave me alone!” I shouted again. And suddenly Coretta was running, faster and faster, until she disappeared from sight. Appreciative laughs rose around me. Then the bell rang, and the teachers appeared to round us back to class.

It's an excerpt from Obama's own book (I think Dreams Of My Father)! Of course they're too stupid to realize it came straight from Obama's book as an example of his early misplaced shame about race, and a light push in grade school is not the equivalent of physical assault against a gay person when you're a senior in high school. God, they're stupid.

they don't) that Obama wrote about the incident because he felt ashamed of it. Something Romney is obviously incapable of doing.
