Do you think the "Bros before hoes" sig was sexist?

Do you understand the meaning of the word rationalize?

"Saying he expects attacks based on his race is playing the race card"

That's the future tense.

What Obama is doing is called "poisoning the well". He wants to get his hits in before anyone actually does what he's predicting.

I think that's an important point. Before, not if. There is no real question that the republican attack machine will come out with disgustingly low attacks and smears. That's what they do. They do it every election so there's no plausible possibility that they won't do it this time as well. Republicans crying foul are saying "but we haven't even started doing it yet," and even that's not true. They have already started doing it and it will only get uglier.
