Obama didn't say "in the back seat" did he?

This is exactly what he said, using the car anaology:

We can't have special interests sitting shotgun! (Laughter.) You know, we got to have middle-class families up in front! (Applause.) We can't -- we don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they got to sit in back! (Laughter.)

Well, in my opinion...
BHO is divisive and racist and is trying to promote class warfare to divide the American people.....

that's my opinion and I'm expressing it.
you can agree or disagree depending on your opinion

I think we're all somewhat racist.

But, that cartoon was not meant to be racist.
It was a play on BHO's recent divisive words that the Republicans (a.k.a. "the enemy") could come along with him and the folks in power, they would just have to ride in the back seat. It was a modified picture about the movie "Driving Miss Daisy" showing a Republican not just in the back seat but in a position of authority i.e. as President and BHO . Do I think Sarah Palin will be the next President? Probably not. I just hope the next President is not BHO.

Sam has a disturbing pattern of propagating racist cartoons and materials.

Driving Miss Daisy
Plot
It is 1948 and Mrs. ("Miss") Daisy Werthan (Jessica Tandy), a 72-year-old Jewish widow, lives in Atlanta, Georgia, alone except for an African American housemaid named Idella (Esther Rolle). After a driving mishap where her Chrysler automobile is demolished, Miss Daisy’s son, Boolie (Dan Aykroyd), tells her she will have to get a chauffeur because no insurance company will insure her. She refuses, but Boolie is determined to find her one. Meanwhile, she is stuck at home and is unable to run errands or visit friends.

Boolie finds a man named Hoke Colburn (Morgan Freeman), who had driven for a local judge until he died, and he decided to remain in the area rather than accompany the judge's widow when she moved away.

Miss Daisy at first refuses to let Hoke drive her, going so far as to walk to the local Piggly Wiggly. It is revealed that her reluctance to be driven around is because she is embarrassed. People might think she is either too elderly to drive, or so well off that she can pay for a driver.

Daisy starts to accept Hoke and the fact that she needs him to drive her around. Miss Daisy finds out that Hoke cannot read, so she teaches him how to read. Over the years Hoke drives Daisy in a succession of vehicles including a Hudson Commodore and a series of Cadillacs. When it became time to trade in the Hudson for a new Cadillac in 1955, Hoke purchased the Hudson and used it as his personal vehicle. He repeated the practice with Miss Daisy's subsequent vehicles as well.
