Here is one:

Sorry but that one is, at best ambiguous. He is talking about when Obama was a boy who grew up to be nominated for president. Nothing more.

Carter is endorsing Obama and saying what a wonderful story, a black boy with a single white mother who grew up to be nominated for president by a major party.

You will need to find something stronger than this.

Carolyn -

Thanks for providing that link.

It's easy to see that Carter was referring to Obama's childhood, when he called him a boy. I can also see that it wasn't extremely careful of Carter to use that term. But I don't see, within the context, how one could make the claim that Carter meant to put Obama down.
