I work in a grocery store and there were so many (white) customers plastered in Obama t-shirts in the weeks leading up to election day. One day I even saw two of them give each other thumbs up. They all got caught up in it like it was Beatlemania or something!
And now? I rarely ever see an Obama t-shirt on any customer, certainly not on any white customers.
The media built this guy up to be the messiah. Once they decide he's a false messiah they'll feel betrayed and he'll go down hard and fast taking a bunch of Dems with him.
