Here's the truth. If Obama was white, you would be calling this a failed or otherwise lackluster Presidency. If you actually take a step back and disregard Obama's charisma for a moment, you can clearly see the ways in  which America is now worse off than before. In general, Presidents/presidential candidates like Obama who receive widespread mainstream media support are the choice of the elites and powers-that-be, but are never the right choice for the public.
