Whether we like it or not, there is a percentage of this country that would never have voted for him, based on his skin color. Just like we know that some people voted for him completely based on color and probably have no idea what his policies are. I think you're giving people too much credit.
All I'm saying is, before we declare him a failure, can he at least be sworn in?

What i mean with the %'s is that it wont take much to lose the faith of the % in the so called middle that voted for him. He has promised much during a very tough time with uncertain changes on the horizon many beyond the control of Obama or the US in general. Whether you like or support Bush you have to admit that 9/11 changed the landscape and was impossible to forsee in 2000. I am making the assumption that being a one term president will be considered a failure. Even though he certainly wont be to blame for all that goes wrong, with a Democratic congress he wont have much leeway.
