The Hands-Off Campaign

"Do we see sometimes us going overboard in our campaign, mistakes that are made, areas where there's no doubt that somebody could dispute how we are presenting things, that happens in politics."

This is a quote from Obama in an interview with "60 Minutes", which was edited out. It is a strange construction, passive, distant and hands-off, as if things were happening beyond his influence. Or maybe it's just the Royal "We."
