This may not be fair, but a lot of us voted for Barack Obama in no small measure because he is black. We felt ready for a real change. We thought that a truly smart, non-radical black man could be that person: experienced to a degree (but not overly so), reasonable, level-headed, contemplative. And black. Support was not purely because of his race, but being black made him a "true" outsider in a sense that no other combination of characteristics can capture.
I think we’ve been hoodwinked. He’s a politician as much as any other and his descendency in the minds of the public is going to be a harder pill to swallow than almost anyone before him. He could actually be the cause of a huge collapse in public support in United States as a country, as well as the U.S. government in general and of the Democratic Party in particular.
If he’s not “change” then who is? There are not many options left for those who don't like the dragon that is the U.S. government, having grown with the nourishment supplied by every president and every Congress.
