So yea...Logic fallacy fail.
i'm not saying that is fair. i'm saying that that is a very possible situation if he fails as miserably as bush. it's one thing for a bush to do this, but just think of the ramifications of Obama doing the same or, god forbid, this situation gets worse. so Obama is on a hot bed right now, he is technically the first of his kind to be president (i say kind because he is a medley... no racism intended) and so people are going to go on first impressions from this presidency AND put a lot of labels on him. so if he doesn't do well there will be lots of people that will assume that anyone besides an older white guy will fuck everything up or impose no change.
