your from, whether black or other the honeymoon period of a new POTUS wanes and approval ratings fall.
Obama's need to try to "do" too many things in a short period only provide that much more cannon fodder when the majority of the programs do or have little or no effect.

There are not enough well written, well read speeches (words) to offset the reality that some times what is said needs to manifest into a completion or deliverable.
A difficult lesson for a professional campaigner...like BHO to learn. Politicians believe that when they make a speech or promise and fling the words against the wall...the key to success is to be gone before they dry up and hit the floor.

Wanna bet he ties the prior administrations low numbers....even with the locked in media protective blanket!
