Well he played half of the country for saps, but IMO those people that were dumb enough to believe he was the new Jesus who could solve all of our problems now look like complete idiots. Obama won because Americans were sick of a history of old white men in power who mess shit up, it was extremely foolish to vote for him just because he was a young hip black man. I think people are starting to realize that despite his appearance and all of this hype he is just another politician. Electing him has benefited the U.S. internationally because he is so popular, aside from his politics Obama seems like a very likable guy and he should play to his strengths to repair our image in the world, god knows we need it
