Excuse me for a second here...
OMFG I AM TIRED OF RACE BEING AN ISSUE!
Look, I am about as pale as any white guy could possibly come. I even joke that I am so white that I reflect more light than actually hits me. My friends say that isn't joking.
But I make it a point to make this reference whenever anyone says something in reference to the race of a politician, or really any other racial discriminating thing (discrimination is really just separation anyways...).

I strongly believe the USA has yet to reach that dream. So many Americans voted for Barrack Obama just because he is a black man. I am truly mad at that.
I can truly state that as the whitest guy I know, I am proud to recite the speech of the most well known civil rights leader in America.
ok, anyways, onto the real point!
I think people are beginning to see through the celebrity view that was placed on Obama... Of course people are no longer approving of him when he is attempting to rush extremely large bills through congress when the very constitutionality of said bills is in question.
At the same time though, the Democrats as a party are failing to live up to their promises of hope and change.
And don't get me wrong, the Republicans are no better. Except for Ron Paul
After all, the Reps and Dems agree on 96% of issues as a whole, but they always make a big stink out of the 4% they disagree on.
American politics just needs a huge revolution. Or more accurately, rerevolution. The US government has degraded in a way that I believe will be easily fixed by going back to the fundamental values that our Founding Fathers set the country up with.
[edit] I said reevolution instead of rerevolution the first time, didnt want to confuse people
