coming back strong. I saw so much of it during the primaries it made me sick.

Do people realize what it has been like for him to be the first black president?!? Only he knows how he had to walk that tightrope.

I have said since the beginning he is the bravest man alive to take on being the first black president.

But it always comes back to blaming him and bashing him doesn't it. And that is what it is.
