90. the 'Obama is sneaky & she doesn't trust him' sounds racist
your stepson liked his job at Gitmo I take it, probably asked to go there?
I can guess his opinions on muslims.

Racism shows itself in many ways, some subtle some obvious. I have some family members who are racist, anti-immigrant. They have changed the way they talk about their racism since Obama came on the scene, but they themselves haven't changed.

I finally had to stop talking to them- I almost preferred the blatant racist statements they used to make- I could call them on it and they knew what they sounded like. Its like they went 'underground' when Obama ran for president - they said things like 'I'm sorry but I just don't trust him, blah blah its not cuz he's black but he just seems sneaky'

so when you say your wife used those words the bells started going off

yes I'm afraid there is a load of garbage in this country.
