Really is a shame the way it all turned out.

Everyone expected him to magically wipe away 8 years of Bush's bullshit, and instead he took a middle ground. Seems like every damn stance he takes pisses off both 'sides' of this divided ass country.

The troop draw-down; Half pissed he's not ending it, half pissed he's ending it. (Never mind the fact that the war is killing economic growth, and is not being left without our support financially and from hired groups)

Letting gay rights be a state issue; Anti-homosexual groups say he's destroying marriage Homosexual groups saying he's abandoned them. (Never mind the fact that though he's personally against it, he feels it's up to the states to chose what is best for their citizens)

Changes to health care insurance rules; Half say the toothless measure was a PR stunt Half say it will kill your grandmother and has destroyed health care (Never mind the fact that the changes were largely reasonable, and directed at insurance reform such as denying pre-exsisting conditions)

Debt ceiling talks; Half say he cowed to the Rep's demands Half say its his fault alone they couldn't reach an agreement (Never mind the fact that congress is responsible for that...)

Slow economic growth; Half say he's driving away jobs, Half say he hasn't done enough and is letting Reps have their way. (Never mind the fact that the economy was artificially over-inflated for decades and real growth takes longer then fudged numbers)

... I could go on, but honestly who cares. Pick your color, red or blue, spout your slogans and expect everything you want to be catered to... and next year, when we're faced with a president on the level of Palin, who does to the country what Rick Scott is doing to Florida, we can all be unified again as we were at the end of Bush's era... we can remember what a bad president is like.

The End
