son of witless

There is no disgrace at being a bench warmer. I wouldn't have been good enough to even make a high school team. My knock on Obama is his excuses. I guess he played on a championship team where most of the players were better than him. Instead of just accepting that he was fortunate to play on a great team, I think it was in his autobiography, where he said that his coach coached white and he played black basketball. That limited his playing time.

I am sure the teenage Barry Obama believed that, but to put that in your autobiography is low class. I coached youth soccer. A coach is trying to balance giving every player minutes while still trying to win games. It is very difficult.
