The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.
Oh, good. Let's not give the man even a halfway decent chance to do the job...great.
The office has a way of changing a man, both for good and for ill. We haven't yet seen how President Obama will change. The only foregone conclusion we, you, can make correctly is that he will change. For good? For ill? We just don't know yet.
Will he make mistakes? Name me a President who hasn't? Can't be done. They all do. You know why? It ain't because they're demonic antichrists, or even (gasp) Republicans/Democrats; it's because they're human, which means fallible. The mark of the man will be how he goes about fixing these mistakes.
Give the man a chance to do the evil you seem to be anticipating before you start squalling. At least wait 'til he's sworn in. You, and others, want to stomp your feet, hold your breathe 'til you turn blue, have at it. It won't make a bit of difference. The man won fairly, and squarely. You want someone better? Well in 2012, work a little harder, and get yourself a better candidate.
We survived Carter. We survived Reagan. We survived Bush. We survived Clinton. We survived Bush (whoa, deja vu). We'll survive Mr. Obama as well. Give the country a bit more credit, please.

Are you implying Obama supporters hate America?
