West Virginia former Republican lawmaker and current Republican gubernatorial candidate (in the primary) Larry Faircloth apparently called President Barack Obama a "Sambo" and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi a "Bimbo" in a candidate forum on April 29:

"Is she not one?" Faircloth said in a Tuesday evening telephone interview. "I mean, a lot of people think she is a bimbo; that's why they replaced Congress with Republicans, and they removed her as speaker. I don't find that as anything different than a political poke at her."

He also referred to Obama as a "Sambo,"
