They can't let this ridiculous meme go, even though Obama is in the last 18 months of his administration?

It can't just be about Obama. It's clearly got a racist foundation that extends well beyond the POTUS. He's the most obvious, and convenient, target, but if it were just about him, wouldn't they simply begin celebrating the rapidly approaching end of his time in the WH?

Edited to add: How does Carson twist this around...is it because he's black, it can't be about race, but must be about faith?
