I don't know why people turned their backs on Obama. Did anyone really expect him to be able to fix the mess left by a decade of misguided republican shenanigans in a matter of days, weeks, months, or a year? It's so unfair and stupid. At least he's trying! NO ONE looks more competent than Obama in this upcoming election. So far, our choices are incredibly scary and discouraging. Republicans simply don't "get it". They only care about keeping the rich, rich, and the poor, poor. Republicans lack vision and compassion for those less fortunate. Obama genuinely seems to care even though he can't always immediately implement all his ideals and do what needs to be done. Everyone thinks they know best, but trying is the only thing that can be done, and that will be Obama's legacy - he tried (whether he succeeds or not).
