No, this did not happen. It's a very old (perhaps 20 years old) joke that became an urban legend. It is based on the story of some northern politician who allegedly didn't know that cattle guards are things (rails) not people. The story began to circulate around the time of President Clinton; the story claimed he did not know that cattle guards were things and when he heard there were so many of them, he wanted to fire them; but since Mr. Clinton was from rural Arkansas, the chances are he knew that they are used in order to prevent cattle from running away. More recently, the story was applied to Barack Obama, but since it's a myth, Mr. Obama did not fire anyone, and he does know what cattle guards are.

No, he did not. This is yet another internet myth. It was based on a joke, and not on anything factual. I enclose a link to one of the sites that refuted this myth.
