He totally underestimated how partisan the American right has become. He came into office thinking that everyone was going to come forward and work together to help the country get back on its feet.
I didn't vote for Obama in the primaries, not because I didn't like his ideas (shit, I LOVED them!) but I saw him as too inexperienced for presidency having just been a political newcomer only a few years earlier. However, he won the party's nomination fair and square and I had to accept that. I voted for him in the general election silently praying that he would be able to find good advisers who would help him in his new position.
But sadly, my concerns about his inexperience have been realized, and as a result, it appears that all that Pres. Obama has been able to achieve these last four years may be completely lost because he and his at-best-mediocre advisers didn't understand just how partisan the right-wing in this country is, to say nothing of how immature the American people as a whole have become.
God Help us all.
