All presidents are hated due to many factors and among them is job performance, and it's not just America but all over the world. You may like your current president but others may dislike him/her. And vice versa. In US, if your president is conservative, liberals will try to nail him down, and so on... if the president is liberal, conservatives will be in the offensive. It's very unfortunate for Obama that he's black. Liberals will be pulling the race card everytime Obama is under attack. Imagine if Bush was black, people will be hating him because of his bad performance, but hardcore conservative will take it as a racism. When Bill Clinton was the president, liberals can't pull the race card because he was white when people were hating him.

This is just the beginning for Obama. More will come. Obama won't consider any attacks as racism, but others will, especially the liberals. I was just having a conversation with my cousin about what worst could happen if Obama is assassinated just like JFK, it will be a major racism issue. His name will even go down as national hero and will have his own holiday in the calendar. My cousin joked, "Good! let's have three more black president, that way we will have a week of holiday when they get shot.
