Hey, I'd welcome some change, IF it's for the better. He doesn't get a free pass because of his pigmentation. He's a power-hungry politician, just like the rest of 'em, and we don't expect any miracles, but it's time for some damned changes before we wind up annexed by the Commie Chinese. After WW2, it was "Bring the boys back home". Nowadays, it's "Bring the jobs back home". What we need is a leader with the genius and ruthlessness of Richard Nixon, but without the self-destructive paranoia. We don't need any more dumbasses like Willie and Dubya. Right now Obama's the Prez and he's got 3 and a half years to do some good, if he can. I don't care if his skin is green or purple. If he does the country some good, we will re-elect him, if not, we will turn to somebody else.
