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.
I guess you don't remember the "F the President" stickers that were popular back in Bush's day. Disrespect for the president is not an uncommon thing. The advent of social media and 24/7 news outlets and talking heads simply makes it much more noticeable. Another factor is that bipartisanship is dead, eliciting all kinds of vitriol from both parties. Republicans obviously target the Dems' number one man - President Obama. It'll be close to the same if a Republican is elected president.
