He is unhappy because Obama didn't produce a Golden Age for blacks, and an end to the problems of the black underclass.
From a white perspective, 2008 opened with whites having a lot of goodwill towards blacks (most of Obama's votes came from whites), and hope for a better future where blacks would integrate smoothly and harmoniously with the white community.
