Seems like no matter what the president does even if it's good, the right will continue to make racist remarks or jokes about it. I have a friend on Facebook who's constantly posting stuff making fun of Obama and it's just untrue stuff.
Liberals did the same thing when G.W.Bush was president. That's one of the features of 2-party system - whoever is the president and whatever they do, about half of the Americans will hate them.
I can tell you, however, that outside US Obama is quite respected, which you couldn't say about Bush. Just about every UK comedian used to do a Bush impersonation, or jokes about his lack of intelligence - they rarely even mention Obama.
