I don't believe this is a racial thing at all. I think it's more of "the Bush administration dragged our country down to it's lowest point in sixty years". Short of burning down White House, he can't really do any worse than what happened under Bush.
I also believe the Republican party already knew they wouldn't be Obama the first time around, so they put up McCain and Palin. McCain might have been a war hero in his time, and used to be a firebrand (remember when he went to Vietnam and what he said?), but now he's grandpa with a chipmunk facial expression. And Palin was clearly a joke. No matter who the Democrats put up, they would have won. We took a huge hit as Bush left office - Exactly half the houses on my street were empty: That's fucking unheard of.
But I think Obama - and the Democratic party - thinks they can get away with a lot. And they can. But it might just bite them in the ass when trying to fill Obama's replacement.
