I can see where people might have taken exception with some of those criticisms, but it doesn't rise to the level as described herein.

When I think of what the president of the united states has to do to play the game, and when they do, they can expect that kind of criticism, I think it is not for the faint of heart and mind.

It's aged Obama. I feel that deep inside, BO knows that he's conceded, or like people around me say, "spelunker in chief" is what resulted, well, then, what can one expect? These are things unrelated to race.
