well, they're quoting the Telegraph, but still...

Romney's team denies "Mighty Whitey" comment. (Actually, they're denying an "Anglo-Saxon heritage" comment, but I felt my version had more punch to it.)

See, my initial reaction was wondering what the problem is-both the US and UK have legal and constitutional systems descended from the Anglo Saxon system, so that's frequently referred to as anglo-saxon heritage in the literature.

But the idea that Obama, as a noted jurist with massive amounts of experience in constitutional law, wouldn't understand it because he doesn't share that heritage, is just stupid racism using the phrase differently as a cover. FFS.
