I don't get your point? If any president fails to live up to their promises and expectations they get turned on.

George bush mistaking Iraq for Afghanistan happened in his first term, but some people thought he deserved a second chance even though he never admitted making mistakes (wtf). It's not his fault that morons rocked the vote in 04.

I just fear people have such high expectations that if he doesn't pull of a miracle right away they will start to turn on him.

Of course people were happy Obama won, their only other option was an old frail white guy and a scapegoat who'd try to wink her way out of an economic crisis.
Just let the man do his job and we'll let the chips fall where they may, just like we do in every presidency.
