In fairness, the president will never be able to make everyone happy. The country is too big and diverse. Also in a globalized world, you make some friends and gain enemies, or vice versa. He will be tested, pleasing the citizens was the easy part, now he must answer to the global community. We will have to see if he is willing to make American concessions to please foreign governments, and risk upsetting someone. All we can do is back him up, not setting expectations too high. Also, try not to stereotype the parties, each group Democrats and Republicans have their reactionary or radical counterparts, that embarrass them. And all are susceptible to PACs and lobbyists. Remember that every President has the "best interests" of people in their minds. How they do it is what causes division. I'm not pushing my own political agenda, which like religion is always a taboo/risky subject, but as a former student of Political Science and remaining objective, history will tell if you were an effective president. In addition, when I was in the military, we learned that whether or not you liked the President, we would uphold and execute his orders.
