I really don't know if anyone who didn't support obama immediately after he won. But he turned a lot of people against him very early with his arrogance and divisive nature. His Apology Tour made many here angry. And within months only yellow dogs were supporting him. Hell, for a good deal of his presidency his approval rating was lower than Trump's is today, nationwide.

The South didn't VOTE for him, of course. But most everyone tried to support him as president.

You have to keep in mind some of the gumptionless stuff he did in his first couple months.

>> Screw the people, yes? After all, he burned bridges...

Al, leadership is about making deals. Obama just didn't know how to do it and over a period of eight years could never figure it out.

Watch Trump. Right now, the strategy is to pick up stuff that is laying on the table.

When it gets tougher, you'll see how a professional makes things happen.
