I can understand that people can strongly disagree about things..but I can't understand when people take offense about criticism, or names, or mockery, directed at public figures that they don't personally know.

I think President Obama has done pretty much as good as he can with the cards he was dealt, but I get that other people might not feel the same way. I'm sure not going to get personally offended because somebody else feels differently. I'm sure President Obama has dealt with things that are far more difficult than what we say/or don't say here. He'll be fine.
