That seems to be it in a nutshell from what I can gather. A lot of what the Republican supporters were afraid of has come true, so they're as pissed off about him being in power as they ever were and they feel that their pre-election claims of him being some sort of commie anti-christ who didn't even have the right to stand for election have been vindicated.
On the other side, sure you get the diehard Obama fans who'll highlight small improvements* and defend the slow change as symptomatic of bureaucracy and "the system" as opposed to any failing on his part.
As someone largely indifferent to the situation, I'd suggest he's a bit of a victim of the hype machine. People were creaming their drawers over the prospect of (half) black democrat president, which against a backdrop of the incumbent Bush of the time, sounded as though it was going to be the biggest change ever seen in American politics. Yet in reality, he has been in power a long time, they wake up and go to work and their money doesn't stretch as far as they'd like and life goes on much the same as it did before. Consequently, a lot of people who supported him feel a bit short-changed now they have little of what they imagined. I don't really blame him/his party for this. People were a bit naive to imagine their lot would be significantly better under him.
*at least, from people of their political bent's POV.

conservatives believe that the american values are Liberity, In God we Trust and E Pluribus Unum and that obama wants to replace these american values with the european values of Equality (instead of Liberty), Secularism (instead of In God We Trust) and Multiculturalism (instead of E Pluribus Unum), which they see as the values that lead to Europe's current disastrous state.
conservatives also blame obama for not comprehending evil and for analyzing the problems of the world not in terms of "good vs. evil" but in terms of "rich vs. poor". they believe that obama has no moral sense.
they also see obama's health-care-reform as an effect of his lack of moral sense. it's a citizen's moral right and duty to be free and not be nannied by state. getting benefits from the state for doing nothing corrupts your character while working ennobles your character.

A lot of rich (and not so rich even) people don't want to pay for the 'poor'. "pay for your own insurance" etc. He wound up a lot of people. I like him.
Oh, what welt said, more or less.

He's just another politician to me, part of a broken 2 party machine we have. Neither candidate has my vote, as usual. I suppose he's preferable to Romney just for the fact that he's pro abortion and I would prefer to keep that option if I were to get my girlfriend pregnant somehow (I don't ever want children).

Ignore the puppet show. The real political action is coming from the T-Rex of political talk, Alex Jones. I think they secretly banned me from the economic system because they know I listen to his show and don't want me to make any money that I can use to fund him. Just like they cut off all funds to Julian Assange. So I guess I'll have to live in a van or be dead soon. Nobody will remember me AND THIS LIFE WAS TERRIBLE. Computers were pretty cool and interesting but that was just something that blossomed faster than the elites could stamp it out. They poisoned all the memes so it was impossible to learn the true secrets of computers anyway. Well I had fun playing videogames by myself for extremely long durations of time, even though they were a complete attack on my brain, imprisoning me with a completely artificial lonely reward system.

The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum -even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate

Turns out when obama spoke about change, voters thought he meant for the better.
Although many just voted because he is a strong brother with dope moves

I don't like Obama because he is a black nigger. How can a black man be president? It doesn't make sense until you realise the truth of the world.

Since he didn't close Guantanamo, he's as much against human rights as the fuckers before him.
