Every President is treated "unfairly" to a certain extent - they come in with huge expectations, at least partially self-created, and there are many who will be disappointed (either because policy takes longer to implement, or because the people don't agree with the candidate's platform to begin with).

There may not be picking at his education, but there is a group of the cuckoo for cocoa puffs who are still questioning his citizenship.
