At a Republican fundraiser in April 12, 2008, Davis made a disparaging comment on presidential hopeful Barack Obama's foreign policy experience. He said, "That boy's finger does not need to be on the button." Davis' use of the word "boy" was interpreted by many as a racial epithet against the half-black, half-white Obama. Davis apologized soon after the remark was made public.

You don't call a black man a "boy" when you're from the south, unless you're intending to harken back to the racist language of slavery, and then segregation, when all black men were called "boy" as a prejudiced pejorative.
